 smoothy hunting!!! i have three weeks off from college and i am going to spend most of it fishing.  i have read about BEN's smoothy skills and exploits and i want to bag one myself as they look like beautys!  anyway, i would start hunting them down at hope's nose using crab baits. i just need to know from people that are better experienced than me and more knowledgable on the subject whether my efforts are going to waste or if it really is worthwile going for them at this time of year and if i am likely to get them around this way!  i know nothing is for certain but i need some info, i have never caught one of them before!  __________________ -Nostalgia ain't what it used to be. -Hard work has a future payoff.
