9/8/10 There's a
brand new star shining in the fish god's heaven
today. This glistening star signifies our
former living legend and my friend, Capt. Bud Raskey
has successfully completed life at 7am yesterday.
There's way too many wonderful things
to say about this great man and I'm too grief
stricken to even try right now. Bud was in his
84th year and a member of the Freshwater Fishing
Hall of Fame. Funeral plans are incomplete, but it
will be held at Herbert Funeral Home here in
Manistee. More info will be forthcoming
concerning times and date. |
Visitation will be held this Friday
from 2 to 4pm, then again at 7 to 9 pm at Herbert
Funeral Home on 706 Kosciusko, Manistee, MI.
Funeral will be held this Saturday at 10am with a one
hour visitation from 9am to 10am at Guardian Angels
Church, 371 5th St.
Capt. Bud is survived by 2
daughters and 2 sons, along with his life companion
Maxine.
9/7/10 It's no secret
Labor Day signals the unofficial end of summer, but we
still have plenty of good fishing for adult Salmon left
on the 2010 September calendar.
Gone is the summer
hoard of bumper boats, lines at the launch ramp, & long
delays at the fish cleaning tables. For the
flexible fisherman now is the time to go.
Today's
featured photo is a double header from one year ago.
Proving there's a good fishery for the anglers who want
to get more days on the big pond. Just your
fishing trips based on a favorable forecast.

Those that
had their hopes up for big Salmon catching shindig this
past holiday weekend to close out the season? ...went
home discouraged by high winds & heavy seas.
9/6/10 Factoring in the
recent blow days prior to this Labor Day this has to be
some kind of record for extreme rough water.
Here's the NOAA beyond 5 miles offshore forecast:
MONDAY SW WINDS 15 TO 25 KT. CHANCE OF SHOWERS.
WAVES 4' TO 7'
MONDAY NIGHT S WINDS 15 TO 25 KT INCREASING TO
GALES TO 35 KT. WAVES 3' TO 5' BUILDING TO 5' TO
8' OVERNIGHT.
TUESDAY SW GALES TO 35 KT INCREASING TO GALES
TO 40 KT.
CHANCE OF SHOWERS. WAVES 10' TO 14'.
TUESDAY NIGHT W GALES TO 40 KT BECOMING NW TO
30 KT. WAVES 10' TO 14'.
WEDNESDAY NW WINDS TO 30 KT DIMINISHING TO 10
TO 15 KT. WAVES 4' TO 7' SUBSIDING TO 3' TO 5' IN THE
AFTERNOON.
It's
"supposed to" be decent this coming Thursday.
Making a full week of very nasty seas. Keeping the
fleet mostly shore-bound. Except for a brief
respite yesterday and for the larger vessels today.
I write this website from the standpoint of the 19' to
24' boat fishermen. 25 knots is a 28 mph wind that
can push large seas.
9/5/10 After yesterday's
high winds, rain, with temps in the 40, 50s, and the low
60s ...came to the conclusion this might be one of the
most miserable Labor Day
Weekends in several years. Fleet might get a
chance to fish today. Waves are supposed to
subside by later this afternoon. Seas are
diminishing from 3' to 5' to a tolerable 2' to 3'.
