World-Famous or Legendary Muskie “Hotspots” – Part VII
by Larry Ramsell, Muskellunge Historian
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,

World-Famous or Legendary Muskie “Hotspots” – Part V
by Larry Ramsell, Muskellunge Historian
Part V and even this old timer is learning a lot! When I reached out to Pro Guide Spencer Berman about Lake St. Clair, he was easily able to handle a complex situation. Following are his response(s) for multiple “Hotspots” in the 275,200 acre “pond”, considered by many the sixth Great Lake, that lies between the U.S. State of Michigan and the Province of Ontario, Canada and is a virtual muskie factory!

“Here is something I think will work for you. Obviously, St. Clair is a little different since we don’t have structure, however the general areas I named are pretty well known. The only one I left out that you might question is the Belle Hump and although it is a famous spot historically speaking, ever since the zebra mussels have gotten into the lake the water around there has gotten so clear that the l
Known as gastroliths, the pieces of pink quartzite have revealed that long-necked sauropods most likely swallowed them (maybe to grind the tough plant matter they ate) as they migrated to their own Great Valley.
“We interpret that these gastroliths were ingested by dinosaurs, most likely sauropods, in the Laurentian midcontinent and then transported in their digestive tracts to the site of deposition,” said Joshua Malone, a grad student at the Jackson school of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin, who recently led a study published in
Terra.
Before Wyoming or Wisconsin or humans were ever a thing, what is now North America and parts of Europe made up the paleocontinent of Laurentia. This was where many of Little Foot’s relatives roamed. The Baraboo Quartzite, where they are thought to have started their journey to the region that would end up being Wyoming, is much older than any dinosaur which could have made it seem as if dinos traveled backwards through ti
