  1. It definitely is a beautiful area we fell in love with it. I guess that’s a big reason we returned every year for soo many years. We had a group of six guys that made the trip all family. Now there’s only two of us left soo that camp has some very fond memories for me. Really was the best week of the year for all six of us.
  2. Really hard to give directions to the island. Don’t know the coordinates. We made the trip soo many times out of the key river that we knew the route really good. Although could be a rough ride in the open bay. We used to fish a bay we called Pete’s bay that was really close to camp. Also right across from camp we fished old timers bay. And fox bay wasn’t too far from camp. These bays are on the map of the area
  3. Fished Georgian bay fishing camp from 1977 until early 2000’s. Used to go every year and really enjoyed our trip. When we first start going in 1977 a fellow named Tom Beaudry and his wife Joy were the owners. Back then the cabins were very primitive and Tom the owner wasn’t exactly a people person although his wife was very sweet. the walleye fishing in the seventies and the early eighties was tremendous. Caught tons of walleyes and bass and just had the best times of our lives. I believe it was sometime in the eighties that Tom Beaudry had a heart attack and passed away. I believe he was only in his forty’s but he was a high stressed guy. that’s when Dave bought the camp and really made some nice improvements. Dave was a really nice guy and we enjoyed his company. Little by little the walleye fishing fell off and with the lowering water level it was difficult to catch fish. Last time there Dave was in poor health and the camp was in decline. looking back on those trips with my family it was the best week of the year soo much fun, I miss it. Used to fish with a gentleman from canton Ohio named Jim Clark he was kind of a legend and a great fisherman, always caught the biggest walleye. Pretty sure someone put a plaque with his name on one of the spots he used to fish.
