Last time I made bait I had to go thru alot of smelt fry. scratched out short of a dozen 4-6". smelt. Its been about a month so the fry should be getting just right size.,
I use the sailboat area launch and parking is free from the street. ( I'm cheap free launch/free bait) easy parking in the early morning, they use to have a water source, but its was disconnected when they rebuilt the restrooms but the showers work for the rods.... I live about 10-15 minutes from there.
The winds should die down Sat. afternoon, should be a spring like day on Sun.
