Today's Update and, ...or
Fishing Report
2/13/12 Rage Red UV
flashers are only being offered during the month of
February. So, these ground breaking red UV
flashers are not for procrastinators. Those
who purchase now can order replacements if, and when
needed.
Click Rage Red UV 4 in 1 photo
2
and 3 fly Rage Red UV meat rigs will be stocked all
season.
Without giving the less inspired competition a
blueprint to copy them, let it suffice ...it's a
very labor intensive 2 person job to get the right
red UV glow effect.
Then, there's the issue of cost. The red UV is
bought by the gram and costly to say the least.
This 2 person job is fine for now, but during July
and August would burden my 3 person operation (Bob,
my wife & I) to the breaking point.
Honestly, hiring more help is entirely out of the
question. I'm looking at turning 66 this year.
Drama from new shop workers is way-way beyond my
tolerance level.
Piece workers ...when needed who build tackle at
home have been angels to deal with. Regular
hours in-house shop workers has never worked out for
me.
My 2011-2012
Manistee snowometer now stands at 43 inches of total
accumulation
2/12/12 Did a follow-up
photo to show the hooks being inserted in the
interior corrugated part of my cheapie storage
cardboard box for stick baits.
Both hook shanks should be inside these voids to
eliminate potential snags when handling this cost
effective way to keep your stick baits organized.
If you're in a totally open boat subject to weather?
...cheese this whole idea for obvious reasons.
Click treble hooks safely hanging inside the voids
Looking forward to clearing up ALL back logged
orders for the Rage Red UV flashers and meat rigs by
this Tuesday, or sooner. Being behind on
orders is contrary to our established longstanding
policy of prompt same day shipping.
Tomorrow? ...the reason why Rage Red flashers will not being
offered after 2/29/12!
2/11/12 Winter has made
a brief return to Manistee County, MI. Temps
took a nose dive and we got 2 whole inches of the
white stuff. Not to fear ...temps in the mid
to high 30s are predicted to return next week.
Last time we got snow was 2 weeks ago.

Past & Recent
"Simply has a edge
through knowledge and ability of having broken the lock jaw
barrier with his own bag of tricks on a regular basis.... and
good sense of humor."

"King of the Charter Boat Skippers"
Tom Huggler
"Fish Michigan"
March 1999
"The action on Lake Michigan continued at a frantic pace.
.....the crew went on to land 7 Kings (Chinooks), 1 Coho and 9
Lake Trout on the half day Charter." (17 Fish on a 6 hr.

Your
Captain & Host
Capt. John King started his fishing career on the Great
Lakes for Salmon and Trout in 1968. His passion of pursuing
Salmon or Trout on Lake Michigan and the Big Manistee River
evolved into a U.S.C.G. License and a full-time business in
1983.
He has since forged a solid reputation on his ability to
locate and help you catch fish. In some circles it's been
said,
"They named the King, or Chinook Salmon after him."
