Got a limit with a Smelt net on two separate days at the State Park Marina last year.
Ahhhh the Rock Pile... During the Cisco run, there are so many boats so close together on the Rock Pile they could share anchor ropes, but I've joined them many times. Here's a
but funny story...
Last year, the F&G were out checking folks and there was a small boat on the Rock Pile with three fairly burly guys in it. There wasn't much draft left on that boat. In fact, the water was only a couple inches below the edge. The F&G boat wasn't much better off being small and having three guys in it too. Well, the F&G pulled up next to 'em to check 'em. As one of the guys bent over towards the F&G boat to hand over his license, the edge of the boat went under, and subsequently so did the boat. The three guys almost sunk the F&G boat scrambling to get on it. And then there was the mayhem during the aftermath as they tried to grab as much floating tackle as they could before it to sank. One of my buddies picked 'em up off the F&G boat and took them and what was left of their tackle back to shore. Talk about a bad day of fishin'. I'll bet there's been more then one boat sunk on the rock pile over the years.
