FISHING REPORT for MANITOWOC COUNTY  9-28-16: The Chinook Salmon run is now in full swing. Salmon can be seen at all area dams including Clark Mills, Shoto and Mishicot. Some fish are being caught in the downtown stretches and the harbors so more fish are still moving up. In the harbors spoons, crank baits and spawn are producing a few fish. Further upstream and at the dams spawn has been the best bait. The action is often inconsistent even though fish can be seen surfacing. Fly fishermen are having the most consistent action using egg patterns. A few brown trout have also been caught by lucky anglers. IN the Kewaunee area they also have been having some luck catching Brown Trout, Rainbows, Northern Pike and even a Muskellunge was caught there. Mainly the biggest catch is Chinook Salmon in the area with catches of up to 29 lbs. in size.  Remember, the BESADNY ANADROMOUS FISH FACILITY ( BAFF ) is having its open house this coming Sat. Oct. 1st from 9am to 3pm. Activities include Chinook salmon egg collection, Adopt-a sturgeon, guided nature trail hikes and kids casting practice.

HOME TOWN HERO IN THE SHOOTING INDUSTRY FROM MANITOWOC:  Amy Jagemann, of the Jagemann Sporting Group, a member of the family-owned Jagemann Industries, and maker of the brass casings and magazines, was selected as one of the women to know according to WON (Women Outdoor News). The story was just wonderful to see someone from our area who works hard for the shooting industry. Amy and her husband are raising 4 children and balancing work and life outside work. Amy is particularly interested in reaching the women’s market for the fine line of products produced by her family’s company. According to Amy, Jagemann Sporting Group is trying to reach more women in the marketplace. Amy said they are now working with groups like Women’s Outdoor News, the American Woman Shooter, Wall Armed Woman, Girls Guide to Guns and others to get their message out to the market. The company also believe women are on the Web so they are planning banner ads and other outlets to reach women on the Web. The story was written by Barbara Baird for Women Outdoor News. It was a super great story of a local hometown hero in the shooting industry from Manitowoc. It gives you more reason to purchase your brass from Jagemann Shooting Group at your local dealers or suppliers. Roger Vander Logt

ARE YOU READY TO GIVE UP YOUR FIREARMS????  Don’t believe me, listen for yourself.  Go to  nssfnews@nssf.org,  in the search box type,  (Pull the Trigger-Hillary Clinton’s Plan for Guns)  Sept. 13, 2016 date.  Listen to what Clinton states she will do to the firearm industry. She wants a 25% tax on all Firearms and ammo.  This lady is so far in left field, it’s not even funny anymore. Your 2nd Amendment Rights are at risk if you vote for anyone who is a Democrat. I only know of a handful of Democrats who will stand up to protect your Constitutional Rights today. It’s a shame that it’s coming down to this, but if you are concerned about your future and the safety of your future, and that of your children, grandchildren, then like me, you have to bite the bullet and vote for anyone other than the party who wants to disarm all Americans. I pray that we as a country will make the right choice and elect someone who loves our Constitution and doesn’t want to change everything about it just because they think it’s politically correct. Please remember, these are my feelings, as I’m really worried about the future for my grandkids and my great grandkids. Everyone has a right to vote for whoever they feel in their heart will protect their interests and family. So with that said, please remember to VOTE this year, as it just might come down to that one vote someone should of done. Lets all pray for our future. Thanks.

FISHING REPORTS FOR MANITOWOC COUNTY:  Pier fishing has been hit or miss, but the cool nights have finally started to drop the water temperatures and the bite has started to pick up. Most bites come at first and last light. Both spoons and spawn have been productive. The chinook are finally starting to move up the East and West Twin Rivers with a few fish being caught in the holes and at the dams. In Manitowoc the stretch of river from the mouth to the hospital has produced chinook. Boat anglers have caught some fish by trolling crank baits up and down the river. No salmon have been reported upstream on the Manitowoc River near the dam or Branch river. Look for chinook run to pick up as the water temperatures drop and the days get shorter. In Brown County the fishing pressure has been very LOW pressure, mainly due to the rain and high winds.
