Never went smelting on Lake Michigan. When I was a kid (mid 70's) I went Grunion hunting a couple times on the beaches of SoCal. Good times.....they come up on to the beach to lay their eggs and you chase them around and catch them with your bare hands. I don't think nets are allowed. That's the closest I've ever come to anything like smelting.B.C. said:PULL EM UP! REEL EM IN! GAFT EM HARD! RAW-HIDE! LOL! That's a good one Pan!......Hey Sprout did ya ever do any smelting on Lake Mich.? I heard there easy ta catch. Don't know much about em, I jus know they're tasty. lol later,BC
Hope the fish start biting for you. It's still nice to get out and enjoy nature.caligreen said:I like to fish and smoke at the same time its very relaxing.
My problem is I havent caught a damn fish for months, I bought a license recently, and go every weekend. Our lakes are good so is our ocean but I just have bad luck I guess.....

I too am from WNC (born and raised). I am now attending college in the Rockies and majoring in Fisheries management and biology. Growing my own and fishing are two things I'm good at, hence the username. It's really good to see someone from home on here. Maybe we can share some rivers or stream names to compare how close our stomping grounds are without getting too specific. Chattooga River and Nantahala River ring a bell? I also hit the brookie streams. Anyways, glad I found this thread. Damn I love this place!

I'm a big fan of Nugent as well, great sportsman & rocker and I sure can't hold being sober against anyone even if they do speak out against drugs. Catching a buzz while fishing is a blast for me as it's two of my favorite things to do.......NOKUY said:i'm also a big fan of ted nugents "camp for kids"....where he teaches kids about the ways of us outdoors people. even tho ted is anti drugs he's a good guy.
i dont usually smoke much weed when i fish, and never do when i hunt...i guess it's a different type of high for me, but i got no gripes if thats what ya do.
kudos bro.......sprout420 said:I'll be taking my 9 year old niece out fishing this year. Of course I don't smoke when I'm with her. I usually spend more time baiting her hook than fishing myself. It's totally worth it to see the smile on her face. Her dad is kind of a dead beat and doesn't enjoy being a father. I try to make up for it when I can. I have a little one myself, still to young to go out with me.
Taking a kid fishing, definitely the best buzz there is.
You said it. Love the Zebco push buttons for the kids. Easy to use and pretty cheap too.Stoner4Life said:kudos bro.......
I don't need any distractions when with kids fishing, that would take away from the good experience imo.
Thank god for Zebco rods for the kids, nearly bullet-proof.
K+ sprout, good looking out for your niece.
