Just saw where you guys are talking about smelt. The big deal around Milwaukee when the smelt are ‘running’ on Lake Michigan is to use dip nets and flood lights. The smelt come to the light. Tradition has it that you bite the head off the first smelt you catch. Then, in order to get the slime off the smelt, you run them through a cold rinse cycle in the wash machine(Mrs. irish guard is not fond of this part), then you either bread and fry the, or smoke them. For my money, smoked smelt is the better of the two. Oh yea, and because this is in the Milwaukee area (actually Port Washington for me), you wash down the smelt with copious amounts of beer.
