Today's Update
and, ...or Fishing Report
10/1/24 Eye doctor
appointment in about a week to get my eyes
fixed. Hopefully by 2025 everyday updates
will resume,
9/19/24 Suspending
daily updates has taken a toll on my
productivity. For over 20 years updates
kept me focused at tasks at hand. Now I
have to dig deep for any kind of forward
progress. 1sy part of October have an
appointment with Dr. Reimer in Ludington about
cataract surgery.
/7/24 Thanks to all
who have visited this website over the years.
Pause in daily chats is not of my chosing.
My body when it entered this world in November
of 1946 came with a time stamp that said, ":best
if used my July 2024." Ever since it's
been a struggle with tasks that now take me 4
times as long to do 1/3 as much.
9/2/24 Hope you had
a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend. Today's a
toughie for me, because of vision issues.
Been doing daily chats since the year 2000.
That's over 8k, conservative estimate.
Until I get cataract surgery, daily updates will
happen only once, or twice a week.
8/29/24 My failing
eyesight is making updates nearly impossible.
17th of next month have an appointment with
ReimerEye Care to get cataract surgery.
Live long enough, everyone gets cataracts
according to the eye doc. Detail work of
any kind is beyond difficult. For now,
making tackle under a large lighted magnifying
glass to get by.
8/28/24 Interesting
photo of the day sent in by Larry M. He
was fishing out of Harbor Beach on Lake Huron on
8/24/24 in over 100’ of water and caught a
Walleye on one of our scented soft plastic Rip
Teezer. Proving that if it looks like food
to one type of fish, all species do the same.

8/27/24 Here's a
good read about sink holes in Lk MI and Lk.
Huron:

8/26/24 Here's a
good lesson on "new" impulse purchases.
It's about the old school iconic FireDot
pattern. For me? ...this color has worked
since 1969 with 1000s of fish meeting their
demise. What would you rather have? "New"
or a proven fish killer? Here's
testimonial:
!
"CBull's title, "FireDot for the Win!
Fire Dot, with red LED
blinker and West Coast setup; accounted for
4 this morning. 2 misses, but those were
both doubles and just couldn’t hook up
solid. East Platte Bay, 70’ fow to
115’ ...CBull”
8/23/24 It;s easy to
have a grin on your mug when you have a 100
pounds of Kings hanging as today's featured
photo of Ludington's very own Capt. Kirk.
This past week's cooler than normal temps mean N
wind with colder water temps new shore.
Providing an incentive for the Salmon to head up
our rivers, streams and creeks.
8/22/24 Here's a kayak
fish report on Coho action in E Platte Bay, 17
miles N of Frankfort, MI by water:
Your white spoon with
green LED and west cost style single hook
and barrel swivel, accounted for all of
these. Gonna’ try your FireDot LED
spoon…in the AM. 75’ to 100’ fow.

8/20/24 Finally on
track with orders that came in over the weekend.
Vision issues are no fun, lost depth perception
that make tacking building a challenge.
In 2 weeks will get word on cataract surgery and
new eye treatment called Absmoi that being
advertized on TV., Only wish I could
update you on fishing, but feel it's been decent
at cantral LK. MI ports. Bad nwes travels
faster than good. Tomorrow? ...people
looking for bait.
8/16/24 In the
nicest way possible, I'm envious of those
fishing the Great Lakes. Feeling the surge
of the waves and seeing big Kings coming to the
net is s sight to behold. My present
physical being makes me more a liability aboard
than an asset. So, enjoy yourself while
you still can, before life throws curve balls at
you!
8/15/24 Missed a few
days. Working with a patched together
computer system when Win 10 auto update
corrupted the hard drive in 2 of my 4 computer
network. Murphy's law happened at the
worst possible time.
Good news is Lk. MI has rebounded from the
drastic Chinook/King Salmon stocking cuts.
Everyone I spoke with lately ordering tackle had
good things to say from a variety of ports.
8/12/24 Doctor's
appointment at 10am is going slow down work
building and shipping orders. So, that
sucks! Rip Teezers long term usage id
tomorrow's focus.
8/10/24 Received an
interesting note in the special comment section
during check out from my webstore. Reminding me
that I got it right making our Rip Teezers fake
bait. Here's what Aaron W. from Grand
Rapids, MI had to say:
"The Rip Teasers that I got last
time are AWESOME, I've went something like 12
for 13 with one strip that I am still using the
very same strip."
