Where will the next World Record muskie come from? My good friend and fellow author, Bill Hamblin (Billy and I co-wrote a five-year series of “Musky Hunter’s Almanacs” from 1996 thru 2000), believes it will come from Georgian Bay, where he guided for several years. When I started writing this series on muskie “Hotspots”, I reached out to him for multiple reasons, least of which is his vast knowledge of Georgian Bay and the Legendary “Hotspots” he knows and has fished. These facts were borne out to me once again as I re-read his recently published (2015), GREAT book on fishing the Bay and one man’s story of spending “120 Days” of a single season chasing a record muskie there. The cover of his book is a photograph of a point of land in “Blackstone Harbour” (Canadian spelling),so we will have a look there. According to Bill, “The photo features the point off of which Ken O’Brien caught his Canadian record, 65-pound musky. It’s as famous a spot as there is on Georgian Bay.”

I have to agree... The book, "120 Days" was a great read. I would highly recommend it. I just read it a couple of months ago. If you ever read, "Time on the Water" by Bill Gardner this book had a similar premise. By the way, have any of you ever heard of a book called, "Time on the water II?" It sounds as if there was a 2nd book that Bill Gardner wrote, but I can't find anything about it except a rumor that there was a 2nd book. Have any of you heard of it or read it?

Guzzler: What I think you are likely referring to is a 2nd printing of the book with updates by Musky Hunter magazine.

I don't think so, but you would have to check with Steve Heiting at Musky Hunter magazine.
