Last night was the start of the season however, I decided to cast 4 and 6 inch Grandmas. I caught 3 northern by the time the sun went down. I bet that I catch a musky by the end of the smelt run in Chicago!!!

That would be an awesome photo - Are you fishing in the city or North shore?

many buckets of smelts. take care and many more.

So what your saying is you caught three more pike than smelt, right????
Havent caught a northern, or muskie for that matter, at Montrose. I have stuck a couple of northern at Belmont and Diversey harbors though. I was always puzzled why never at Montrose. Good to hear.
Do you want some company this weekend? Don't even know where my smelt gear is any more. I do plan on trolling for some coho this weekend as well.
