Capt Larry,

Thank you very much for the kind words! We really appreciate it we send thousands of packages a year and understandably mostly hear from people who have an issue with a missing item or lost package so when we hear from very pleased customers it makes our day!!

2017 Anglers Avenue Custom Spin Doctors

We have added a bunch of our new 2017 custom spin doctors to our site and they are already ripping off the shelves a few of these should be deadly on Lake O

Gambler that is exactly what makes fishing so great many different ways to do things and I'm sure both strategies work.

Gambler,

I tend to disagree with you here to some extent. Some of the better tournament fisherman in Michigan have figured out that chrome spin doctors with spin n glos work great at 2.0-2.2 mph for lakers which obviously still allows you to fish kings effectively at that speed. The problem with not putting any laker rods down in a tourney on the first pass or two is your letting the competition pick off the easy hot fish that are biting but more important the fish become spooky as the traffic gets thick. As far as cowbells go imo and only my opinion they have their days but there def not BETTER then  dodgers and spin n glos all the time especially after the traffic has got to the fish. The cowbell setup is a close to the downrigger ball setup which is an agressive bite setup guys who would fish kings early and then rely on cowbells off downriggers in my experience would get beat in most scenerios by the guys that are fishing a much more stealthy program for trout 

New Custom Moonshine RV Spoons

Guys I think you will the like the 3 new Anglers Avenue custom Moonshine RV spoons.

Crab Apple RV and Sniper RV are sure to be hot on Lake O!

Well I guess it turns out that the "Fire ball" that crashed into Wisconsin waters of Lake Michigan Was actually a 5000 gallon tank/drum  launched from the State of Michigan ACROSS the lake to Wisconsin shoreline filled with Lake trout Fry..........On the outside of the 5000 gallon tank/drum was painted         " Wisconsin you ARE getting Lake Trout this year"

jerry probably acccurate I just wish the Michigan dnr would have played the wind better they missed the useless lake trout reef that is unreachable for anglers. That way basically all of those fish never even see a lure and they can just eat all of our alewives lol

Thankfully it didnt wipe out my tackle store! 

My daughter Lilly when she was told by her mom what happened said 

"Great it probably killed all the salmon before the dnr could"

I want to sort of correct my mistake in word choice I didnt mean "mend" as in the sense of the word. The better word to describe my thoughts and experiences is terminate. It is more difficult to terminate then copper.

So far it appears to do everything Torpedo says it does and more....

I believe this will be a good product option for many who chose to utilize it.

It was a fantastic time and opportunity for me share some of my experiences with all the attendees. I thought the 3 different approaches charter captain, captain/tourney guy and tourney guy/fun fisherman myself really worked well. The Great Niagara Fishing Expo is a must attend show for any serious salmon/trout fisherman around the Great Lakes. The group next year that teaches the class I am sure will take it to the next level!

Guys we have sold a ton of the weighted steel now and most anglers seem very happy with it. Seems there are two small drawbacks.

1. Shimano Talora copper rods dont like it but all others do..

2. Its harder to mend then copper 

Other than those two seems most prefer it over copper. We sell it in the 200,300 ft spools but we also have bulk spools and can load any amount u want.

Hey guys I wanted to share my 2017 Buyers Guide I put together. I hope you enjoy.....

http://www.anglersavenueproshop.com/blog/2017-anglers-avenue-buyers-guide/

King fishing has become tougher than ever in my lifetime the last few seasons. Sparatic is the best term last year one day you could catch 12 kings the next 3 days struggle to catch 2 or 1. It has taken its toll on participation as anglers are struggling to put fish in the box. With that said there are some bright spots last year my home port tourney the Sheboygan Salmon cup took the largest 10 king catch for 2 days in its history. Day two the winners had 95# and change for 5. This has created some excitement around tournament fishing on Lake Michigan 

We're excited to be heading to the Greater Niagara Fishing Expo next week! I have been personally waiting for this show for a long time. What an exciting time it will be with the quality of vendors at this show and the Salmon School it's a can't miss event. I have been preparing for this show since last year. Here is some of the exciting stuff we are bringing along....

For those of you who follow Tom Allens fishing reports he has talked about a chrome mt dew chip flasher with a white painted back and crush glow tape. It was a homemade job but he had great success with it. We worked with Michigan Stinger to get this blade made and we gave it ready fro you guys. Its available in a combo with an A-tom-mik big fin glow uv fly or just the flasher.

Here is a couple pictures of some of the ones that have been selling already.....

It was a great season look for the Anglers Avenue team on the Sheboygan episode, Manistee Salmon Splash episode and the finals

I've wondered why they spend all that money in those individual tournaments and just concentrate on the 333? I'm mean $10,000 is nice but don't most of them tournies push that? Or is it just to get on t.v.?

Silver Fox,

For our team its always a debate to focus on main tourney or 333. The single tournaments average about 3-5k for first place. The other thing is when your on tv Salmon Showdown only highlights your position in the 333 so if you decide to focus on the main event and not the 333 you will look like a googan on tv! LOL

Great point!

 

 

You can catch BASS in just about every state in the US. It's a HUGE market and more people fishing bass tourneys in one town than do Salmon tourneys on Lake Ontario. It's where the $$$$ is at!

 

 

If this is what you've always wanted then why did you alienate your pals FK? They were ALLLLL about this!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You guys want some drama? I'm talking Salmon DRAMA!?!?!?!?!?

I'm calling out Russel to bring his team to Lake Ontario! I want some of their MONEY!

 

 

I'm editing this to add that I'm bored at work, I've fished a total of twice since the boat went away (very rare for me), and I'd really like to see more Lake MI teams come fish our events with big payouts.

Yankee Troller,

Im sure you would be happy to take our cash just like the Michigan boys do. I am trying to get a team together for Wilson but striking out so far....
