Wow! I never knew smelt were made of hot dog buns. And, mackeral, what are they made of?

thanks for the replies fellas. sounds like its worth a shot on days when I want to supplement the halibut offerings with a few live baits. I have heard the crackers/bread chumming trick, will try it.

I have caught plenty of macs and smelt in the bay on a sabiki. Also try a small hook with a strip of squid, macs will eat it up!
