Manistee Chinook Bonanza: Late PM Trip Lands Summer Salmon
What a great day on the water, couldn't ask for more action! Summer fishing in Manistee, MI is always a treat, and this late afternoon trip with Brian and their crew was no exception.

Had a fantastic time with Jeremy, catching big salmon. He really knows his stuff! Jeremy took care of everything on the water while we sat back, enjoyed, and reeled them in. Can't wait for the next trip.
