August 2000 Charter Results


Doug Hallet trip         Ed Evans charter       The Curzinskis 
 

 

 

8/31/00  Fished with Derrick Gress with his friends Don, Mike, and World Famous Doug "Cutie Pie" Acker.  The fishing was superb again with hungry Cohos swarming on our lures like Killer Bees.  The bite was on at daylight and we couldn't keep lines in the water.  We had at least 20 strikes in the two hours we spent on the lake before building seas chased us back to port.
    When we pulled lines at 8:00am we had 9 Cohos checked into the fish box and a King that was visiting with them for a 10 fish total.  Today's guests were out for a good time and I hope I fulfilled their wishes on a trip of short duration.  It's better to quit while we were ahead rather than toughing it out on bumpy or lumpy Lake Michigan.
  The laugher on the boat outweighed the fish box as Cutie Pie dug his heels in on the diver rods and landed 3 dandies.  A great time was had by all including myself, and I needed it after yesterday's Kamikaze Salmon War.  Click here for great fishermen on a short charter.

8/30/00      Constant fish on was the order of the day, from 7:00 to 8:30am the strikes came hard and fast, because the Salmon were on a hard bite in Tunaville.  Fantastic or incredible best describes the fishing on this charter.  And guess what?  I even get to have more fun with Cindy and Mick tomorrow in search of more Salmon.  
     The fish box weighed in at over 170 pounds with 7 Kings to 23 lbs. and 4 Cohos that averaged 10 lbs. for an 11 fish total.  Click here for a heavy Tunaville trophy board.

8/27/00  "Limit Out" Ed Evan once again graced us with his fishing prowess today.  I swear every time that man steps aboard my vessel the fish are in a super cooperative mood.  The charter was a Fishfest for Ed Evans, Capt. Chris Carey and myself because there was no one else on the boat.  When Ed got bored from landing fish he let me and Chris have a go at reeling in those nasty bad boy Salmon that dwell in the depths of Lake Michigan.
  It was a superb outing for a threesome with constant fish activity until we pulled lines.  Ed is tournament leader and always is great company, plus the trip went very smoothly.  We hung 15 fish on the meat rack which included 1 Laker, 1 Brown Trout, 5 large Kings and 8 Cohos.  Estimated live cooler weight was in excess of a 160 pounds.
     Oh, by the way I never lost a fish today when Ed was nice enough to let me have a turn, but I do know a couple of other people on the boat who did.  But, I won't mention any names.   Click here for an "awesome meat rack" 15 fish limit catch.

8/26/00 
Mike Brodie and friends were today's Charter Guests and these fisherman got to the rods quick.  They had about 20 strikes and landed 10 fish including
3 Kings, 5 Cohos and 2 Brown Trout for a 10 fish total and decent box of fish.   
     Details on this trip are sketchy because Capt. Mark Pefley and Capt. Chris Carey ran the trip.  After yesterdays going 2 for 13 on the early morning bite, I was fit to be tied.  A day away from the boat is what I needed, because of my intense schedule (everyday).  Both Captains teamed well together and deserve praise in doing a great job on my day off.

      Great trip today with 2 very knowledgeable and patient anglers.  Oh, I just about forgot to mention both fishermen limited out on King Salmon.

  The reel story here is the fight a 22 pounder gave Sally as the boat was pitching to and fro because the lake was getting rough.  Believe me this lady had her hands full on a fish that wouldn't quit, plus I had to steady both of us in an uncomfortable 3' to 4' beam sea.  Sally won out in the end with determination and strength.....good job Sally!!!!
    The unfortunate thing about today's charter is that rough water had to spoil a full day in search of Salmon to a shortened half day.  However, all was not lost we still ended up with a cooler that had 4 fish in it that weighed 70 pounds and a great time with nice people....the Verniers!!!    Click here for their trophy photo.
 
8/17/00
Tournament Ed Evans and his son Derrick cleaned up on the Salmon today with the help of Bob Rondelez.  They had at least 20 strikes from big mean Adult King Salmon.  We had 2 four bangers, boating 3 twice and a triple header, of which we only managed to land 1 out of the 3.  The action was constant and thanks to my team and they knew how to put them in the net.  Ed is part of my tournament team and showed why today.
    The unbelievable fishing we experienced made up for Ed being dockside yesterday.  We all got tried from dealing with the monsters that were on the lose today.  We ended up with over 200 pounds of fish in the cooler and I'm glad we didn't land all the fish that were on because I'd still be at the cleaning table instead of posting this report.  A special thanks goes out to Bob Rondelez for helping out!  Click here for trophy board photo. 

8/16/00 Stayed dockside today because it was much too windy and caught up on sleep and rigged a bunch of reels with new line.  Tackle maintenance was taken care of today.

8/15/00  Jim Horlocker, Rick Bielat, Dave Schiltsges and "Uncle Jim" Ruttan hit the Salmon jackpot today.  Strong thunderstorms in the early morning almost cancelled today's charter.  So, we left kind of late and didn't get lines in the water until 7:30am.  Immediately we found the Kings on the feed when the center rigger tore free and a big tuna started peeling line off the reel!  Everyone on the boat put forth a team effort because the action was fast and furious while it lasted (until about 10:00am).    
     We landed a triple header on Adult Kings and boated 5 more Kings plus a Lake Trout on a short morning outing for a total of 9 fish and a cooler that weighed at least 150 pounds.  
     Jim Horlocker who booked today's trip has fished with Kings Charter since 1987 and his cheerful but determined fishing skills are always welcomed.  Let me say to my guests today, "a great team job  on the triple header, you guys know how to cooperate when the pressure is on."
     I'll sum up this charter by repeating what Uncle Jim said as we returned to the harbor, "We done ourselves proud today."  Click here for trophy board photo.


8/14/00  Whitney and Paul Prucka had a fine Salmon Charter today.  They caught about 100 pounds of fish or more in about 8 hours on a pleasantly calm Lake Michigan.  
     This was Whitney's first time after the King Salmon as she amazed me at on how fast she picked it up and put 'em in the net like a pro!!  Also, Paul has caught Adult Kings in the past and landed 2 Big Kings on my 30# real wire outfits.....they're to toughest rods to master because there is absolutely no stretch......this is no easy feat to accomplish.  They ended up with a Laker, a decent Steelhead and 6 large Kings for a total of 8 fish.
     When it seems my job can't get any better than it has been, I run into just about the nicest couple you'll ever meet!  I'd like to personally thank Whitney and Paul for being such gracious fishing guests and so undemanding to be around, which makes my job a pleasure!!!!

Steve, Tom, Bob Junior and Bob Laughery Sr. fished Lake Michigan with us today.  We boated a doubleheader on big Kings and missed another 3 or 4 fish on a short morning charter.  Rain and thunderstorms chased us off the lake by 9:00am.  They've rebooked for later in August when they'll be up on vacation in Manistee.  The Laughery's have fished with me since 1992.  Click here for 1999 trophy board meat catch!  Need I say more?

Matt, Gary Junior, Gary Curzinski Senior and Paul Austin fished with us today.  He had a strong early morning bite, hitting 3 fish before the whole spread was in the water.  This group of fishermen are probably the most experienced and confident group I have the privilege to take all year from being former big lake boat owners.  So there's need to elaborate on their prowess.  
     While we boated 8 fish, the cooler was heavier than the 15 fish box they got with me in 1999.  Size was the big deal and that's just what these fishing fanatics were out after.  Fish after fish came to the boat until the box was almost full to the top.  I know everyone enjoyed themselves because August 11, 2001 was the Curzinski and Austin name on it....thank guys for rebooking, you're a reel joy to fish with!  Click here for meat photo.

Good times today were had by  Steve Hooks, Dominic "Consigliore" Fucciolo, Kevin Lytle and Ron "Forrest Wood" Bell.  Fun was today's theme with the above mentioned skilled fishermen.  Even though we lost 4, that's right 4 double headers we still ended up with a 170 pound cooler of fish.  The guests today all hailed from Lansing and were "Up North" to catch some Salmon and cut lose and have a good time, which I know they did.  The laughter and inside humor on the boat matched the full box of Salmon we had!
    Overall, we had 16 hits and ended up with 8 Adult Kings from 16 to 23 pounds and a Lake Trout for a total of 9 fish and more than enough action to please everyone including me.  Each one of today's fishermen preformed like experts in handling both the agony and ecstasy  of losing and landing giant sized trophy King Salmon.  In parting I told the group "I probably had more fun then they did, as I drove away with a smile on my face."  Plus, I didn't have to clean the 6 monsters that got away!  "Click here for their trophy photo."
      
8/10/00  Victor Pytko, Dave Keyes and Jon Reesman were on an Auto Conference in Traverse City and thought a Manistee Salmon Charter would be a good idea and they were more than right.  Dave who can be called the ultimate outdoorsman was first up and landed a 12 lb. King about 8:30am.  Then we had slow going for about 2 hours before the action picked up.  Jon who is a veteran of many salmon wars and knowledgeable in the tactics to put fish in the net fought a doubleheader with Dave on the other rod in the middle of the day and both fisherman boated a couple of dandy Kings in the mid 20 pound bracket.   
    
Victor had to wait until the charter was almost over (2:00pm) before he got his chance at a reel screamer, and with wisdom and diligence handled tough King in the mid 20's like a pro to top off our box.  We hung a Laker, 2 Cohos and 6 reel decent Kings on the meat utilizatorului- perfwci.frutos@educa/jcyl0Subj:pics11 Subj:world26Subj:around3"powercfg4 Subj:Pictures5B Gagetown6 cancers7dependinte8 proquota9Respuesta: Subj:woman;pscript<000(uT00000L0n =Chester>Kirkland?contends@1970sA exposingBOttawaCSUBSCRIBEDvGoForwardEHutilitycomputingFaccelacommunicationsG2ReservedHqHSouthboroughIXTurnpikeJXAccelaKPOLICYL:naze@accelacommunicationsM2CPLN jodieO2NazeP2quartzQJodieR2rasSobrien@accelacommunicationsT2scpUViceVBrienWClareX 2AdvertisingY4FAQSZ2ARCHIVES[2NEWSLETTER\ dunsubnl]NEWSLETTERS^4VIEW_>Tap`simplicityaunmatchedb provenc\flexibilitydMonitoringeGroundWorkffirmsgDReinstallBackupsh4Driver.  He was accompanied by Cindy, Joe and Mike also.  The Lake was uncomfortable at a 3 to 4 foot chop and building.  So we decided to cut the trip early.  We landed 1 small Laker after breaking of a decent King when the leader to the fly broke.  We had another tap on the center downrigger that didn't get hooked up either.
   I really was looking forward to this trip because the guests were having a good time before we left the dock at 5:30am and that's hard to do that early in the morning.  Rather than having people feel ill, I'll take the loss in hopes of seeing folks back again.  This group is rebooking for something next year because I only have 2 Salmon dates left.

3 Joe's, Caleb, Joshua and Stephanie Cuellar went on today's superb happening.  After losing the first 2 strikes in the morning things started looking pretty bleak.  Stephanie even started to complain about the size of the fish when I suggested if they're not happy with the job I'm trying to do I'd be glad to take them back to the dock, because I have no use for bad attitudes and unreel expectations. 
    Then fortune smiled on my group and the fish turned on with a vengeance to whack our lures like a bunch of hungry Piranha.  The downriggers were taking savage line ripping hits from adult Kings.  Joe Senior even fought it out with a huge trophy King that pulled the scale down to almost 32 pounds.  Both the other Joe's caught respectable sized lunkers plus the young guy's, Josh and Caleb boated fish also.  
    What tickled me about the whole event is that Stephanie had to eat her words and knows now, not to complain to me ever again about things I can't control.  It was a reel nice feeling to weigh in a 31 plus pounder for everyone on the charter.  Oh, by the way Steph got tried reeling in 2 Kings in the 20 pound bracket.  The trophy board had 1 Steelhead, 1 Coho, 4 Lake Trout and 6 Adult King Salmon from about 15 to 31.5 pounds hanging on it for a 12 fish total for an extremely heavy box.  Click here for photo

Doris and Dan Culton hit Lake Michigan for a Salmon trip with us today.  I decided to go to the stick (Big Point Sable) in hopes of staying away from the Manistee Flotilla and didn't find many fish willing to accept our offerings.  We trolled 27 miles of water for 6 hits and boated one decent King Salmon, 2 Steelhead and a Laker.
  Doris and Dan were more than patient with the lack of activity from aggressive fish. These are super nice folks that provided a great lunch for me (potato salad and fried chicken).  We tried from 15 to 450 feet of water with only limited success.  In fact I invited them back again at my own expense for a half day trip because of the slow fishing, plus I liked their food.  Not many fish were caught by anyondrdyisp$drdymig$drdyoem$drdyref,dtiwaithnwprmpticonn$icsident1ident2ispwaitjndomainjndom keybdkeybdcmtmigdialmiglistmigpageneweula0neweula2 oemprivSubj:Headphonesprvcymsrefdialreg1 $reg3 regdial timezone updshell $openfilesadministratia Subj:JuniperoverkilltheaterservicemembersNovorehabilitationjnovo@itdeustoTheaterDetachmentsepescribisteMajbrigade pdhBaghdadresidents perfci Subj:Amazing!desconocido"Cuenta#dressings$perffilt%heal&mimics'maggots(tissue)perfmon*healing+Veteran,

Dick Tuner, Peter Paul VandeWisj (from Holland),  Ernie "The Arm" Weiss, Tom Hardy and John Israel from Hardy Communications Inc. booked Tom Rasmussen from Sue Lee Charters and myself for today's outing.  Right off the get-go both the Sue Lee and I had bad luck.  Capt. Tom Rasmussen's came in the form of a log becoming wedged between his prop and rudder and mine in losing fish on the "hot" morning bite.  
   I'd just finished setting our 8 rods when the #3 downrigger rod took a hard poke, broke free from the release with nobody home.....then simultaneously a double header hit, the lead core and the #5 rigger rod started towards Ludington and crossed over each other with the Lead core sawing through the mono and no fish!!  To make matters worse to fish on the lead core then came off.  So that's the way my morning went.  My luck has to change soon on keeping those darned fish hooked up!
  Sue Lee's day went a little smoother on the fish with him, boating 3 while I was still skunked.  The bright spot here is I got to see Ernie, John and Tom after absence of 5 years and these super savvy fisherman in the past have experienced some awesome fishing with Kings Charter Service going back to 1987 in the Lake Erie Walleye days. They're great folks to know and have on board!  Plus, they taped the first TV Outdoor Show I did.
   Oh, by the way everyone landed decent sized fish and we ended up catching 1 Lake Trout, 1 Coho, 1 Steelhead and 5 Kings to the 22 lb. range. Click here for photo.

Today the Salmon fishing on the Wenet Charter didn't happen so this date is being postponed the future.  6 hits in 4 hours is a slow go, plus 4 of them didn't hook up!
