Manistee Early July Written by Chris Ingalls Early July Manistee. Fishing is improving as we speak and with the prevailing south west winds it should continue on that pattern.

We take great pride in our company, our commitment to customer service and in the products we sell.
Special Note:
Some of you may know Curt Feldpauch, a former owner and founder of the company. Although he is no longer part of the company, he has remained a large part of the fishing and hunting community, continuing to give advice, mentor kids, and advocate for Michigan and the Great Lakes. In addition to being involved in hunting and fishing, he also coached & helped coach sports with kids for years.
Curt’s been battling esophageal cancer for most of this past year, in conjunction with the Lyme disease he’s been fighting for the past several years. The Lyme & cancer work against each other & have made his recovery near impossible. He’s to the point that he’s exhausted all treatment options available here in the USA. Mexico has a prestigious facility that has been running clinical trials & treating patients w/ both of these awful diseases via nontoxic & noninvasive methods for over 30yrs (methods which are not yet approved by the FDA in America). & their success rate of curing patients is phenomenal. Unfortunately, once you go outside the USA, insurance doesn’t help much to cover medical expenses, leaving him to pay $47,000 out of pocket.
Curt’s family is having a benefit dinner Saturday, November 17 in hopes of raising funds for these potentially life-saving treatments. There will be several live & silent auction items available to bid on with all proceeds going toward medical treatment. We would like to encourage you to attend if you live in the area. The support that has been shown by the community in such a short time really shows what a great guy Curt is.
