They closed the beaches, docks and piers in the popular spot in northern WI because of COVID-19.

Trapstickman got smelt. Thought it was a bit weird although not entirely unpleasant.

I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

No more smelt left here in Kenosha, WI on Lake Michigan. Years ago they were here and I loved catching and eating them.
