I dont mind the fire department doing their job. Theyre responding to complaints from the home owners on park point, or being proactice against it. That being said they should compromise and leave the people down by the lighthouse etc. alone to have a fire going. First year ive seen them out at the lighthouse. Btw. We got avout 40 smelt because of the waves last saturday. Did well on the lester dipping for my first time. Some pulls got up to 25 a scoop, but that is because I had a good strategy. They swim out of the nets path very quickly so you have to pull it up fast!

My friends did well at the Lester last night. And they swung by the breakwall and saw that people had been doing well there as well. So it's still going!
This weekend will likely be close to the end..if not the actual end!

I really appreciate the updates you fella’s post. I haven’t been Smelting for over 4 decades. Did some dipping on the Lester Monday night and did real well👍🏽,Thanks! It really was a pleasant night to be out and the place was packed. Great view of the Aerial Bridge along with a couple of Iron boats chugging out. Only bad part was me leaving my Smelt dipper on the roof and driving off at 4am☹️ Other than that I had a blast. Thanks again.

Just checked the tot lot, it was no good. Rough waves. A few groups out but got nothing. Checked the lift bridge, seemed to be the same. I don't think it'll last til the weekend. We're on the downside alright.

Last night, the wall and tot lot didn't produced at all. Waves were rough and cold. Total opposite from Tuesday night, which was good. A friend got three coolers by the wall.
Checked the Lester and it was slow there as well. Left at 12. Looks like it got better later in the night.

I waited 3 weeks to come to Ashland to smelt dip and what did they have waiting there but no good place to set up a dip net rig with a spotlight rig and beam. All the harbor front is gone for dip rigs from new firms development that have keep out signs! Lake View Park has put a lot of money into a new worthless dock built over jagged rocks where a net can't lay on the bottom so unless you have wadders and a dragnet with a buddy that always can't go cause there is too much unexpected happening at home your dipnet does you no good in the Ashland Harbor. Your area has really gone way down hill! Thanks for the 6 hour round trip plus gas wasted for nothing Ashland! You All deserve the biggest trophy from the Liars Club, It does not surprise me one bit that Guy on this website is selling his large dipnet for $200 !

The last post on Ashland was from the 14th stating the season was over. Not sure how they deceived you.....North Shore might be Ok this weekend or it may be over too. Hard to say, I'd guess tonight might be the final push.

Was at lester last night until 4 a.m they still running, but got to work hard for my 2 buckets and half. Before going to lester we roam around the beach area people didnt do so well, every pull was between 0-10 smelts. Might wind down to the end of season.
