Do I hear a 4th, He who Smelt it,dealt it...?

Proof positive that we read each others posts. Sure we do.

I always found smelt practically indistinguishable from herring. And aren't herring just large sardines?

The Potomac turns silver with them once a year (late March?).

lol!

brother blood!

herring you pickle, smelt you fry.......its all good..........

Blacky, when I was a bachelor we used to treble hook (snag) the herring when they ran & then batter/fry them as well.

Come to think of it though, my wife has pan fried smelt more times than I care to remember. She thinks it's a treat sprinkled with lemon. I don't particular care for it (makes me feel like a stray cat eating fish leavins' out of a garbage can) & think it makes the house smell like a ****house for 2- 3 days. Go figure. LOL

#24....I find this proof positive that everyone wants to be me. There can only be one!!

It's sad really.....

good for pike and catfish bait when you cant get live minnows..
