...."And What A Catch That Was"

Seven year old Walt Zacher of Buffalo, New York caught his biggest fish on Kabinakagami Lake yesterday. When the Walleye took the bait and snatched his "Lucky Lure" there was no way he was loosing this fish. With his rod bent so much that the tip was in the water, he was able to keep it "Hooked" so his Guide could net it. He couldn't wait to get back to the Lodge to add his name to the "Wall of Fame". Here's a quote right from the fisherman himself: "He tugged twice and than the third tug I new he was on my hook. He was tugging so hard I thought I was going to go water skiing. I was happy and told Bill "get the net, get the net".

Way to go Walt that really is an Awesome fish, those fish better watch out for you, who knows what secret Lure you will be using tomorrow!!!!

May not have been the big Pike but it was an Awesome Walleye!!!!

This time last week we were enjoying the fishing after a great lunch in Boot Bay. It was so great to be back at such a beautiful place with such warm hospitality. We feel like part of the family. Fishing this year was awesome. We caught over 525 walleye between us and several were really nice size. I'm not happy with my photos but Bob insisted I send pics of the one just over 27 inches. May you have a very blessed season and be safe in all of your travels. Hope we are able to see you again in 2010.

Thanks for your pictures Debbie, we are not sure why you don't like them, I think you had mention something about your wardrobe, but we all know that you needed all the layers that day!!!! The pictures are great and even though you didn't catch your Big Pike this year you certainly caught an awesome Walleye. Maybe next year Bob will even make the "Wall of Fame"

We're glad that you feel you are both part of the family because we feel the same way. Take care and we really hope to see you both next year.

Aken Party 2009 fishing Vacations

The Aken Family had a great four days of fishing on the Housekeeping Plan at Pine Portage Lodge!! The night before they left they had an unexpected visitor looking for dinner.

Just wanted to let you know we did trap the culprit and took him for a little ride so he could find his own dinner!!!

Sorry about the visitor guy's and thank's for the great pictures, we really do appreciate the time you took to send them to us. Take care and maybe we will see you both next year!!!

The Veltman's Family Vacation 2009 at Pine Portage Lodge

Only a 30 minute flight is all it took to get the Veltman Party to their destination at Watson's Pine Portage Lodge. After getting registered and with Fishing License in hand off to the fishing grounds they went! Obviously they had a great three days of fishing.

These are some nice fish guy's and a 13"perch to boot!!!!

"Please Release Me, Let Me Go"

I am not sure who caught who!!!

Nothing like a shore lunch of fresh Walleye cooked on an open fire!!!!!

....And now 4 the Bear News!!!!!!

Well we still have the big black bears to look forward to this year. We had a Mom with three little ones earlier this summer, but right now it seems to be a few loners around. We've had to trap a few and take them for a little ride to release them further from the lodge area.


If you look close you can see the unhappy resident of this trap, but not for long since he will be returned to the wild.

Well at least Mathew made the "Wall of Fame"

Mathew Anderson with the Fern Party caught two nice Walleye, one was caught on June 23/09 weighing in at 5.5 lbs., 27 " and the other caught on June 25th/09 weighing in at 5lbs. 27". Not sure what happened with Mr. Fern though, we never saw his name on the "Wall of Fame"?
