Big Walleye on the Georgian Bay – 2009 – Diamond Key Lodge

Peter Batt and a beautiful Walleye

The monster walleye are starting to bite – wow! Georgian Bay Walleye Fishing at it’s best – fat bellies and beautiful looking … puts a smile on everyone’s face – great for a shore lunch …

These are real lunkers.

Fishing still great

We had some windy weather, but some nice fish as well … and the Walleye have started biting. It is always a struggle to get our customers to give us the pictures – geesh … it is like pulling teeth sometimes. But, we wrangled these ones … very happy guys.

Big Northern Pike from the First Week of Fishing – Diamond Key Lodge – 2009

We held a few tournaments the first week of fishing at Diamond Key Lodge.  The winners were Dave Wiens and Ed Lucchetta … Dave had the biggest Pike and the Lucchetta father/son team caught the most Pike.

Here are a few more

Some Big Bass from the first week of Pike Season

It was unreal … the bass just kept hitting on Pike Lures … of course, all returned quickly to the water … just some monsters …

Fishing from Shore - Right back to the water

Dave's Big Bass, within an hour of a 24 lb Pike - almost not fair.

They just kept biting ... this is all in the first few days ... crazy.

Monster Pike on Opening Day -2009

Last year, David Wiens caught his first Pike at Diamond Key.  So, we invited him back … apparently, he has been secretly practicising.  Quietly honing his skills.

Happier Days – This is me – Peter – in 2008

Peter fishing

I’ve been in a cast for over 5 weeks … with a ruptured achilles tendon.  It has been a real challenge to stay “sane” while sitting with my foot up in the air.

Here is a picture of me in happier times, in my Geisler, fishing … great thoughts … I can’t do any type of sports for at least a year, so fishing is my friend for 2009.  I just love these wood boats … too much maintenance, but beautiful for fishing …

Sanger Family – 2008 – boys and dad – fishing georgian bay style

Maggie and David just love the Sanger clan.  Nothing better than the sound of laughing boys – also, love the life jackets.    

This is a good shot of the inside of the new Lund.  The split seat configuration is nice, and they are wider than the Geisler boats.  We’ve ordered flat floors for 2009 – so that the are easier for walking or standing.

I love the 4 stroke engines, but still prefer the wood boats.

Great Bass – Georgian Bay – Ontario

The bass season does not begin until the 4th Saturday of June.  But, we can start dreaming … this is a nice healthy small mouth from the summer of 2008.  Also, notice the inside of the wood boat … I will try and show shots in both the Aluminum and Wood boats and we are open for opinions on Wood Vs. Aluminum fishing boats?
