NEW
Firedot UV
Rig Combo:
We're offering the new 2011 Firedot & UV 3 Squid Rig
combo deal at our webstore:
www.michiganangler.com
This combo was our best producer on our 8/9/10
trip to Leland, MI. It's priced to sell at an
introductory lowball 25.99. This lethal weapon
must be seen to appreciate the UV properties in
these USA made mini squids. |
Today's
Update and,
...or Fishing Report
9/3/10 Turning blow days
into useful fishing days can be done by fishing
alternative bodies of water. Grand Traverse Bay in
Traverse City is protected from E, W, & S winds.
Only a hard N blow will make this long sliver of water a
challenge to fish.
Most all deep water
inland lakes in northern MI have Lake Trout populations.
14'-16' boats can easily fish the larger rivers like the
St. Joe, Grand, Muskegon, & Manistee.
South blows make
Glen Arbor and excellent choice for the trailer boats
under 25'. Frankfort's E & W Platte Bays offer shelter
from hard south blow if you can get past Point Betsie,
...then be willing to fight huge seas on your return
trip back towards Frankfort.
Organizing and
cleaning your boat making sure everything is ultra ready
when the wind does lay down is a helluva lot better than
fishing out of an ill prepared vessel.
Just sitting on
shore watching the wind blow sucks. Do something
creative to add days to your fishing season.
Anglers get so focused on one port ...they lose sight of
the many choices in places to fish around our freshwater
seas, the majestic Great Lakes!!!!
Here's a
9/2/10 Email testimonial about the new 2011 stimulus 12"
flasher:
"John, Used your new
Stimulus flasher today out of Manistee. Ran it on
the center rigger at 115 down. All I can say is hail to
the chief....we caught 9 fish and missed a few others on
that flasher between 9 and 11am.
It actually
outpaced the Black Mamba which has been the best on our
boat. Just Awesome!!! Thanks, Jason Decker First
Mate -
First Class Charters"
9/2/10 Starting tomorrow the
wind is gonna blow hard and come full circle by Monday.
Labor Day is east wind preceded by NW ...making the
harbors magnets for herds of Salmon & hoards Salmon
fishermen. This is known as harbor patrol, aka
combat fishing with many boats in a small area.
Patience and courtesy go a long ways for this type of
fishing.
Longtime
website member, Chaos aka Steve E was wrecking havoc on
the fish population off the Port of Pentwater, MI.
In heavy seas Steve took a nice mix of fish, 17 to be
exact ...using my flashers & flies exclusively in 2
outings.
Steve uses the 12 inchers and flies on his riggers.
The BTI 10" flashers are standard equipment on his
divers.
In case
you're not familiar with Pentwater, it's about 10 miles
south of the highly popular/busy Port of Ludington, MI.

9/1/10 Wind is the largest
concern for this coming Labor Day Holiday 2010.
Lk. MI open waters forecast for Friday and Saturday is
not good. This coming Sunday is looking tolerable.
There is E wind predicted to swing to NW. This
means if the lake cools down enough there will be Kings
in Manistee's harbor in the not too distant future.
Manistee Charter boat the Sue Lee fished yesterday in 6
footers at his customers request. Capt. Tom R
called me to report holding speed was tough and he
caught fish with the new 2011 stimulus flasher pulling
the new UV 3 squid meat rig.
