Fishing Heaven

 Boy oh boy oh boy did we have some fun fishing last Sunday on Indian Lake.  Sandi Duncan, a friend from Dryden came out to camp to spend a few days with us.  She loves to fish and brought along some fresh minnows besides.  It was a perfect day which was a bit on the dark side even in mid afternoon due to smoke from fires burning north west of us.  Wind was from the west blowing right toward the point we were fishing around.  

All of a sudden, bing, bing , bing, we were all getting hits and then hooked some Walleyes.  We only had one net with us, so had to take turns lifting them into the boat.  In less than an hour we had our limit and tried to catch some pike.  It was the best fishing I think I've ever had.  They were the perfect size, 16 - 17 inches with one a little over 18 inches.  Sandi and I caught all but one fish.  Joanna bemoaned the fact that sitting in the middle she assisted both of us in landing our fish and didn't get her line in the water as much as we did.

But we went out to the same spot on Monday and Joanna got the biggest fish , a 21 inch Walleye.  So she was happy.  I believe she also caught the most fish.  I got the biggest smallmouth bass I have ever caught, about 20 inches long.  The picture was a bit blurry because we were drifting in a strong wind with 1-2 foot waves.  What a delicious fresh fish meal we enjoyed.  YUM!!

If we can't have our U.S. guests come stay with us till 2022, the one consolation is that the fishing should be spectacular.

Memorable Day at Paguchi

Image
  Bobby Jones and his three amigos had a memorable day on Paguchi a week ago.  Folks that have fished the lakes around our resort for years have always gone to Paguchi for Lake Trout and Northern Pike fishing.  It looks like that has changed for now.  Someone caught a 35 inch Walleye there and posted it in the Ignace newspaper a few years ago.  Word got out that there were walleye in Paguchi and it became a very busy fishing spot for locals and non residents alike.  Since the boat landing only holds about four boats and trailers, you now see vehicles and trailers parked along both sides of the road beside the entry road to Paguchi.   Bobby and his group knew there were Walleye spots in Paguchi and using their electronics, they endeavored to find them.  They caught a few but then decided to turn off all electronics and ask their Heavenly Father to put them on a good Walleye spot.  They drifted quite a ways and all of a sudden began catching a few.  They stopped and still fished.  That&#

The Hansen Family Reunion

 Don Hansen, his wife Liz and some of his grown children have been coming to our resort to fish for many years.  Recently Don passed away and after the funeral, his wife and all five kids came to stay with us.  They know Indian Lake very well having fished it for all these years, so had no trouble locating great fishing spots.  Lisa, the youngest in the family and only daughter sent me some pictures of the beautiful fish they caught.  She said they had a wonderful time together.

Best Year Ever

Image
  So many times already this summer we have heard folks say this was their best year ever for fishing since they've been coming to Agimac River Outfitters.  Quite a few of our guests have been coming for close to 30 years.  So that is really saying something.  Pictured above is Brad Steinbach with his 40 plus inches Northern Pike out of Indian Lake.   On the same day he also managed to land this huge brute of a fish.  His lure was almost as big as the fish.  :)  A few weeks ago Leo Bonin reeled in one of the biggest Walleyes he's ever caught.  What a look of joy on his face!!  Way to go Leo. When our guests leave at the end of the week, they sometimes have left over live bait which they either take back home with them or give to me.  I prefer to save leeches since they are easy to keep in my refrigerator all summer long.  I now have an abundant supply of leeches to use for myself and Joanna besides our kids and other friends when they come up later in the summer to stay with us
