Gerald “Casey” Creber (1938-2006), born in Orillia and raised in Cannington, enjoyed life to the fullest. Casey, a monument engraver by trade, was always a hard worker. At the age of 16, Casey started his live bait business. After putting in a full day, Casey managed to catch and deliver live bait to his customers. In 1963 Casey purchased the Port Bolster Inn, home to “Casey’s Huts”. His devotion to angling was apparent to both his family and his customers. In 1965 Casey became a Charter Captain on Lake Simcoe and in 1975 added Lake Ontario to his resume. In 1995, Casey added competitive fishing to his passion. With his wife Leona at his side, this was a team to be reckoned with. Among numerous titles accomplished, in particular the 2005 Canada/US Walleye Championship, Casey and Leona will always be remembered for the challenge they set forth at the 2005 Bassmania Balsam Lake Classic. We wish to dedicate this event to Casey Creber and all the anglers we have lost along to way in hopes of keeping their memory alive. This annual event is in memory of those anglers that lived their dream. Although they are no longer with us, their memories live on. Please join us in this fundraising event held in memory of Casey Creber, Rick White, Bill Baker, Todd Gover, John McGuire, Gord Wilton, Kevin Jennings, Fred Pepper, Peter Janzen, Rick Amsbury, Bob Scott, Hank Gibson, Jonathan McConnell, Mike Seburn, Rob and Steve Lowe, Mike Dean, John Reddings, Bill Bond and Roger Pardy.
