[size 1]Monday......August 2, 2004[/size][/font][/left] [left][font "Verdana"][#000080][size 2] Hello Everyone,
[/size][/#000080][font "Verdana"][size 2]
It's August and we're well into "tuna time," as the adult Kings
start staging of the river mouths of the Great Lakes.

[/size][/font][/font][/left] [left][font "Verdana"][#ff0000][size 4]Lk. Michigan & Lake Huron Report [/size][/#ff0000][/font] [/left]
[font "Verdana"][size 2]Central to northern Lake Michigan is showing good opportunities
on Kings from 15 to 20 pounds. Over twenties are not as plentiful,
but fish to 24 pounds are being reported fairly often. In my area,
Ludington's bath-house to a couple miles north of Big Point Sable has
been best. Good reports are coming from Frankfort's Big Point Betsie too.

The key to these reports are finding the bait fish. If you find bait,
generally you're gonna have non-stop action. Manistee's water temps
have been goofy, where one day the fish have been in 30 feet of water,
then one day later warm water moves in and the fish are 100 feet down.
Consistent action in Manistee and Onekama with a stable weather
pattern forecast for the next 6 days.

I haven't heard many encouraging words about Lake Huron's Salmon
Fishery yet. Salmon have been scarce and Kings over 10 pounds are rare.[/size][/font] [left][font "Verdana"][#ff0000][size 4]C[/size][/#ff0000][/font][font "Verdana"][font "Verdana"][#ff0000][size 4]apt. John's "On-Line Reel-Flashers"[/size][/#ff0000][/font][/font][/left] [left][font "Verdana"]

[/#000080][/font][font "Verdana"][#000080]" [/#000080][/font][/size][font "Verdana"][size 2]Reel-Flashers" have been producing great catches for those who subscribe
to the theory, less is more. Understanding that a Salmon's sense of smell
is a deadly tool that can be used against them is another step in the
right direction to limit catches.

While my product works great with flies, or spoons to reach it's full potential
pulling cut bait should be considered. Capt. Steve "Roscoe" Burns just won
a Steelheaders tournament in Ludington (7/31/04) pulling my flasher
and meat exclusively. There were close to 40 boats in this event
and his victory margin was by over 30 pounds!

rivets, swivels (Sampo & Roscoe) and the blade is cast in the good old USA too![url "http://rd.bcentral.com/?ID=1996343&s=87774289"]

There's no in the world that wants to make sure your time on the water is more
productive then me. My reason?.....I've invested every spare dime I had into
Reel-Flasher tooling and production. I've developed a special double treble hook
setup for meat rigs that means a 90% hookup ratio according to my tests.
Use the below link for my secret hook deal:

[/size][/font][/url][font "Verdana"][size 2]There's a brand new premium bait coming to our Great Lakes Salmon fishery.
This new product is processed in the USA and has special scent enhancing
properties. I'll have this great product in 6 strips in a re-closeable container
in Manistee. Zajac's Bait and Tackle in Manistee carries a complete line
of my flashers and soon will have this bait too.

I will also have whole herring in various sizes. I used whole herring with
great success the last time off the dock. While it's bothersome to cut your
own strips, it does work! Here's a tip on using whole herring: use the side
with the tail attached for best results stayed tuned to my website for further
info on the exact date of availability.[/size][/font][font "Verdana"][font "Verdana"][#ff0000][size 4]

Capt. Bob Hicks is in charge and running the entire show at our webstore.
He's done a fantastic job and has an inventory of hard to find fish catchin' tools.
Most shipping is done on the same of day the order is received.
Michigan residents can receive their tackle, electronics, rods, flashers,
cut-bait rigs, reels and specialty items within one business day.

Bob has recently restocked his webstore with new colors
of Tie Cut-Bait Rigs. [/size][/font][/left] [left][font "Verdana"][#ff0000][size 4]That's All Folks!

not up par. Please keep this in mind when the boat ramps and parking lots

I saw this on 9 &10 news tonight , the coast guard will be increasing patrolls and saftey checks of all boats salmon fishing off of ludington .
one reason is to make aware to the trolling boats that the ferry has the right of way on the water . second , the saftey inspections will help to keep fishermen safe and prepaired while enjoying there sport .

and just to let you know , they go thru E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G !!!!!!
Lifevests should be up to date and coastguard approved , the proper sized fire extinguisher for your craft , lights , horn , the whole nine yards !!

be safe , know the rules and have fun !
