went fishing (smelting) in wisconsin this weekend, great result

[hmgROCK]

got there nice and early
got a chance enjoy the sunset
grill some food and drink some beer with the crew



6 hours later back at home
and cooler and cooolers full of them
ran out of freezer space, have to use the upper part of the fridge
(damn phone battery die, forgot to charge no pic action)




some finish being clean and ready to go into the fryer
(fish spell PH)

[hmgROCK]

should be good smelting for the next 2-3 days
im thinking about putting together another crew before this weekend
this crew would be on standby
get up and leave
fake a sick

[hmgROCK]

smelt has been really good these past 2-3 years now
im talking coolers and cooler
bucket by the bucket
maybe even black trash bag if you go there

i think it's probably because all these boat area and ship company are being put out of business
LESS POLLUTION =MORE FISH
the fishes can actually go back to being fish and thrived

i can't believe the hmong people in wisconsin and minnesota
ain't going by the car load to fish these yummy fish
i saw maybe a few hmong brother and crew, only

Finally.

People say today ain't nothin' like years back. Two scoops right by the stream edge and your 5-gallon bucket is full.

We take hours to fill one or two most of the nights.

Poor fish... didn't get to enjoy another sunrise/sunset..

[Reporter]

Is it the water business or is it the salmons that wiped out the smelts for awhile?

Park Point beach.

Lester is a river, not a park.

They die on their own, too, even if not netted.

Last week I was at a place and a cop came by. We took a look at some of the smelts that had popped onto shore and died there.

"Those fish are really, really stupid," he said. 

I hope we aren't what we eat! lol

Paper making
Lack of environment regulations

When a tourist asked what your State has to offer? There you go.  Give them something that only your state has. 

We Cali have abolone, geo duck clams, gruinion run, 15 inches smelt but catch by pole n hook.  We also have halibut and boaters are catching their 25+ lbers just outside of the SF skyline skycraper.

Trying to see get people to go
But they too busy working

A bunch of wage slave
