    Already over…..

    Its that time of year again, the big lake season ended for me on Sept 8 and I was busy on the river on Sept 10. This summer flew by way to fast!!

    The fishing this summer on the lake was much improved for the most part and I am already looking forward to next years season on the lake.

    I would like to say “thank you” to all of those that had a chance to fish with us and those that called and inquired about fishing with us. Without your support we would not be able to do what we love.

    Thanks for a great summer, hope to see you all in 2016

    Where did the summer go ???

    It seems like it happens every year, we wait and wait….then bam ! its gone. I am finishing up my last week on the big lake this week and will be moving my business to the PM river to target King salmon on the smaller waters. I will miss the big water for sure, but also will be looking forward to late fall and winter steelhead fishing.

    I still have a morning opening this coming Friday Sept 4

    The fishing the past week has been decent, with mature kings staging for their fall run. Pretty typical rigs, meat rigs and plugs early. Even a few spoon bites as of late.

    If you fish meat, these are the ones to run. www.familiarbite.com, perfect right out of the package.

    If you are looking for the Familiar Bite Herring strips, you can get them at Tangled Tackle in Manistee, and The Outdoorsman Pro Shop in Jenison.

    We still have a few morning openings this month and a few in the first week of September. Give us a call to get in on the action.

    Looks like a couple of blow days this week will keep the fleet on shore.

    The fishing is much improved this month compared to last year at this time, decent catches of 12-18 lb Kings with a few larger are being taken daily. There are fish scattered from little point and big point and beyond. The keys have been location and water depth. The morning bite has been better than the evening bite for the most part, with evening fish coming right at sundown.

    The water is warming up and the fish will most likely be deep until we get some cooler temps after this big blow.

    Hot tip– Dramamine works best if taken the evening before, then again in the am before the trip. Use the non-drowsy formula or you will get very sleepy on the water.

    Hot baits– UV flashers and meatrigs in the am and cloudy days. Brighter color flashers when its been bright. (mountain dew and chromes have been good in the high sun) 11′ flashers with flies fished deep off riggers. Plugs are catching fish early and late. Green flashers and teasers are getting hotter this week.

    Dodgers and spin and glos are taking lake trout daily. It has paid off with a extra fish or two to run a rigger way down deep after the morning bite slows down.
