I've dipped for smelt along the thumb area from Port Sanilac to Port Austin, in the AuGres and Tawas area, and at Point Pelee (sp). A couple of years we brought our Coleman stove, some flour, salt, cooking oil and a deep frying pan, We cleaned and cooked some smelt while we were dipping 'em. Talk about fresh fish.
What I'd really like to try is dippin' in a U.P. river or stream. Maybe along the Carp River or somewhere like that. Anyone have any info on a good spot to try? Maybe info on cabin rentals or campsites in the area as well. Sure would like to give it a try this year.
Ever try smoked smelt? Like eating potato chips. Goes great with a few blues.
