Reporter...yo dude, im getting strong report of smelt run 2019

[Reporter]

Well, okay. He's going to have to go up to Lake Superior on either side then.

Its no good, bro
Fox river is too polluted
Theres oil in the rocks

The smelt don’t run there
Don’t waste your time there

Its improving though

I catch white fish there

[Reporter]

Once the smelts start to run, that license is nothing compared to the excitement  he's going through.

So, I bought a very expensive seine and didn't have anyone else on the other end, so I posted it up to sell. $200.00, I posted it up on Craigslist. Several guys were competing for it. One guy called me and insisted that I lower it to $150.00. I said "no." Another guy was sending out his check, he said. But there was a third who told his wife to come get it and she didn't. He took off work to come within the hour. "Someone else would have taken it in an hour or so," he told me. I agreed. I told him people were lining up for it. He said $200.00 was a great deal. I had used it only once. I spread it out on my lawn for him to look. "It's so new!" he said. $200.00 he happily paid.

Then just one day before people started saying the smelts have started to run, the guy who wanted $150.00 for it texted me and said he was going to come get it now.

I texted back that another guy already took it for $200.00.

I originally bought it for $370.00 and it it customized and treated with a loop net in the middle, too.

You think $51.00 will stop Mind_Teaser? Or $54.00 for him and a girl for 14 days of netting?

Nawh. I don't think so.

Outta of state license kill
Unless you can ninja fish
Don’t end up getting caughr on the news
Fishing without a license

[Reporter]

I used to have 4. Now, down to two and he isn't that brave.

So, I'm relying on my Cambodian friends--5 of them, two that are women and one that's a little boy.

Maybe they can join the team long term.We'll see.

But they aren't into seining yet. Maybe one day.

I don't like the unstable sands though. Keep dragging my feet down.

My Cambodian friends don't drink. I don't, either. We're cool together but we don't care about bonfires and beaches. Just the smelts, that's all we care for.

Thanks for the info. But seem like I'd have to spend close to $500 just to get set up for smelting.  How about I just buy the smelt from you guys?  What do you say?  I'm serious.

[Reporter]

Sure. $70.00-$80.00 a 5-gallon bucket.
