Coronet Bay - Smelting

The smelting has been quite good for those fishing Coronet Bay just inside Deception Pass on Whidbey Island. Does not take much in the way of tackle just a trout spinning rod a Gamakatsu # 4 or 5 Smelt / Herring jig and a 1/2 - 1 oz sinker. It does pay to chum a little with your favorite feed to hold the smelt where you are fishing.
