The Landheer’s from the Michigan area continued their fishing trip here at Striker’s Point, and finished as strongly as they started. On their first night here, Dave landed a 43-inch Northern Pike. He was fishing down river, jigging for walleye at the time. All of the Landheer’s caught big stringers of fish throughout their stay, and enjoyed discovering more great fishing spots while exploring Whitewater Lake. Daniel of Spring Lake, Michigan made the Master Angler list as well with his 44-inch northern. Overall they had a great time and we look forward to seeing them next year.

Tom and Bonnie joined us all the way from Florida with their grandson Tommy. Young Tommy quickly got the hang of fishing in northern Ontario, and acquired the “walleye touch” by the time he had left. The biggest walleye from the group came from Tommy at 22-inches, in addition to some decent size northerns. They all enjoyed the sights of Whitewater Lake, including Ogoki Lodge, and The Wendell Beckwith Cabin on Best Island. They fished in many areas from the outflow of the eastern river, to main island points, all the way west to the narrows. We enjoyed having them and we know they enjoyed their stay.

The Shiree group from Michigan area including Par, Hormoz, and Bob came in for their second trip of the three they book each summer. As usual, Par got the guys on the fish and had no troubles doing it. These experienced walleye fishermen had some really great days on the lake, catching one after the other. Jigs and tails is all it takes – they say. September will come as fast as their return. We await their arrival for trip number 3.

The Wenzel brothers, Dick and Doug  from Wisconsin, came for a return trip to Striker’s Point. The expert anglers caught countless numbers of fish during their stay, reaching into the hundreds per day on more than one occasion. Along with big counts of walleye, both brothers got into some large pike, catching some 37-inch and 38-inchers, but the biggest of them all was caught by Doug. The beautiful 46-inch was caught in the mouth of The Bay Of Pigs outside the weed bed on the eastern outflow of the Ogoki River. The 46-inch matches our biggest northern of the season, but it is not over yet.

I’ll check in again next week. Tight lines everyone.
