Capt. Chucks (Ludington), Tangled Tackle and Shipwatch
Marina in Manistee, MI are now restocked with a fresh
supply of my
flashers and meat rigs.
Good news for this weekend is that a gallon of gas
costs less then at this time last year. Have a great
and safe Memorial Day Weekend.

The unofficial start of the summer season, Memorial
Day Weekend is almost upon us. My plan is to
take a few days off to complete an important mission.
I
have one of them gizmos that records depth by Fish
Hawk called a TD. This device will be used as I
take notes on diver depths with regular and mag divers
on different dial settings. Then, this precise
info with be shared on our message board.
Have a great Memorial Day Weekend, cuz
you deserve it!

Today's featured image is a bar graph with WI data
collected last February during trawls for chubs.
148 one year old Kings were caught and their planting sites
indentified. Big shocker is? ...only 14 Salmon
were said to be natural fish, or 9%!
This 9% is a far cry from estimates to the contrary
that claim 50% of the Chinooks/King Salmon are
naturally reproduced fish.

More hard reel-facts like this is needed to set the
record straight and eliminate the word estimate.
Estimate can mean guess. Guess & knowing are 2
different things!!
Thanks to website member Steve S for passing on
this reel WI DNR info.

Going
to do something I have not done in 27 years in the
fishing business. That being a short mini
vacation beginning 5/24/12 during a holiday weekend.
So, my shop is shutting down for a few days. Any
orders received on, or after 5/24/12 will be shipped
after Memorial Day Weekend. We all need a break
from work.
For about the past week we had a raccoon doing what
raccoons do. Like tipping over garbage cans
looking for chow. Captured this cute rascal &
released Rocky Raccoon about 3 miles from my place at
Pine Creek.

A handful to 10 fish is considered good for the Port
of Manistee, MI now. Last Saturday's event Tight
Lines for Troops 3 to 6 fish per boat was the norm.
Seng's Marina in Manistee went all out and opened
their facilities with welcome mat for our armed forces
veterans. Close to 60 boats participated for
approximately 240 vets. Manistee did a great job
for deserving members from all branches of the
military.
Been way too busy with production issues for the past
2 weeks. Looking forward to the upcoming
Memorial Day Weekend ...bigtime!
