Fishing is really starting to pick up out of Manistee, Ludington, Onekama and Frankfort.  Active kings can be found in 120 to 200 fow in most areas, however I've heard good reports from the 5's to the 9's in those depths.  Dreamweaver 8 and 10 inch Kevin's Girlfriend and UV Showtime Spin Doctors loaded with Pickled Sunshine meat rigs, Diabolical Electric Funeral meat rigs and Diabolical Black Magic meat rigs have been hot. Kevin's girlfriend and double white crush spin doctors with a Riverside or a pickled sunshine fly has also been on fire.  Moonshine spoons in both regular and...

Here are some hot lures and presentations that worked well for us over the past few days, and I'm certain will continue to do so over this coming weekend.   Dreamweaver 8 inch spin doctors in Kevin's Girlfriend and Double Pearl Glow Dreamweaver super slim spoons in Stargazer, Rasta Goose and Green Jeans. Moonshine spoons in Carbon 14, Raspberry Carbon and Black Ice. KRW Riverside flies have been fantastic lately and will continue to be. Good luck everyone this weekend and be safe! Chris

Don't tell anyone but we may just have FishHawk sale starting also right after the video. So if you've been on the fence tune in to see what might be right for you and then save some money. This sale will be for Tangled Tackle Members...

Several times a week I receive an email that asks "if you could only run six rods what would presentations would you run, and what would I lures would you use"? I think that's a great question and one that should be answered. So this Sunday at 7pm on our Live Video Stream we will cover that topic and go into some more depth on the lures I would use in different stages of...
