My Brother and i have been doing this for a few years in memory of our Dad.This time i took my wife and my brother took a work buddy. My father only had the chance to fish White Lake, near Arnprior, once in his life, and that was the year before he passed, 18 years ago.
My brothers friend Steve,who is a fly fisherman, and on his first Bass opener,and my brother in his Ranger Comanche 40th anniversary eddition bassBoat.
All of us Limited within the first 5 hours, and enjoyed C&R for the balance of the day.
The wife and I put over 30 in the boat during our 7 hours on the water, My Bro and his buddy put at least that many in.
There was the Annual White Lake Opener Tourny going on that day, but my brother has been fishing the lake at least once a week for the last 18 years and knows the lake inside out. It was funny seeing all thes boats scurrying all over the place looking for fish, and we are drifting over his hidden deep weedbeds, popping them in the boat, one after another I brought my radios so we could communicate "Fish On" without allerting the crowd.
This was by far, the best Opener i have experienced on the lake.Last year i was in my litte tinnie and could not reach the far end of the lake.This year, it wasnt a problem, with the New boat.
D.R White was back on the Lake And he fished with his 2 sons once again !!!
Tite lines Dad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
