In-Fisherman episode on Big Man salmon!
Anyone catch this last one of the previous one??? Casting cranks for early run kings. Wow did that look fun!
Anyone know a guide for this? Would love to take my son for his first king...and do it casting for aggressive fish (not trolling big lake or force feeding 'em on the redds).

Its great! One of my pure passions is catching kings on a crank. You really don't need a guide. Just start looking in the river around August. Cast large rapalas, thundersticks, hot n tots, or any other type of crank and hold on.
One of my fondest memories was hooking a early king. My Uncle and I walked down to the Big Man and found a good hole. We started by throwing big spinners and spoons, then I put on a big orange J-13 and on the first cast hooked and lost a king. The funny thing is he told me that I wouldn't hook a fish.

Hi Drisc13
I offer trips casting cranks on the Big Manistee or the Pere Marquette. I also run some bait as well if that is there flavor. Check out the website if it is something your intrested in www.redmooslodge.com .. You can pick up a lot of tips and tricks your first couple times out and I can bring you to more spots with fish in a day then you could imagine.. 
Thanks
Clint

Didn't see the In-Fisherman show, but Tim Roller has a few videos called King Crankin I & II. Pretty much a tutorial for casting crankbaits for Kings, and he specializes in fishing the Big Man. His client caught the new World record Brown Trout (while fishing for Kings), last year. Chad Betts is another guide for this type of fishing. Lots of guides do this, anymore. Lots of people do it, too.

I've been known to run some crank and skein trips from time to time. Not something I do full time, but I book a few trips a month.

$150/day? I'll gladly pay that this fall. We'll take my boat and you are not allowed to fish  Best $150 I could ever spend is the entertainment of having Hutch watch me fish for 8 hours without a rod in his hand  He probably wouldn't make a cent though since I'm assuming he'll go through around 1 smoke a minute during that time

That guide was Doug Samsal. www.manisteeriverguide.com
2nd time I saw that episode. He also did one on LSC with Steve Quinn for smallmouths.

I saw the smallmouth episode with Doug, but I think the salmon one was with Mark Chmura if I'm not mistaken

They've done the king show with both of them, mark and doug. Sure does look like fun. Wish I had something besides a trolling motor for my 12ft flatbottom. Id be out there in a heartbeat

Have someone spot your vehicle, and just run downstream. You can launch at Rainbow Bend, and spend a day working your way down to a takeout in town. I will say that I wouldn't trust an electric trolling motor nearly as much as a gas motor, in case I needed some real power. There are a few places where the current rolls pretty good down there. Heck, if you were just working downstream, you could just row it.
