PERCH FISHING EXCELLENT THIS MORNING!!!!

Great numbers of PERCH were brought in from this mornings crowd. Over 100lbs of PERCH by 12p.m.

Fish being taken on PERCH rigs and minnows. Both shiners and Fatheads were working today.

Fish around the river raisin and in front of the two stacks between McDonalds and Sputnik in 22′ to 24′ of water.

Stop in and get your minnows in the morning and get the up to the minute report!!

We are the only bait shop in town with Emerald Shiners, be sure to get in early to get some!!

Good Luck & Tight Lines,

Capt. Mike

Salmon are Starting to Run

Saturday, August 30th, 2008

With the cool weather starting earlier this year, the salmon are starting to run in the Lower Peninsula.  Some of the runs in the Upper started to take place a week and half ago,  one night it hit 39 degrees while there.

Reports are coming in that the salmon are in the Manistee in good numbers, but have yet to reach the the first dam in big numbers.  If the weather holds, it shouldn’t take long though.  Look for all rivers north of the Manistee to be getting similar reports as well.

I know one reader is heading up to Oscoda with a box full of Little Cleo’s to fish off the pier.  This is the time of the year folks that the fish will keep running until the primal urge is satisfied, that or a sudden warm spell!

Get your collections of spoons, flies and spawn rigs and head north, time to fill the freezer with the good stuff.
