JohnAB Posted July 8, 2009 Report Posted July 8, 2009 Well was back home at the cabin in Saskatchewan. Met up with Rob aka holdfast and we headed to a lake north of his place in Big River called Hackett Lake for some fishing. I must admit it was with some trepidation that I met Rob based on some of his comments on here but I am happy to report he is a good guy and a most generous host and not at all as he sometimes comes across on here. We had a lot of fun fishing and I am hoping to get back up that way the August long weekend with my boat so we can try Delaronde Lake. Rob with the first pike of the day My first pike of the day First walleye of the day Rob's biggest walleye My biggest Rob with the stringer for the day Will improve the photo taking the next trip.
danbouck Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Some nice fish there! I have only heard great things from people that have met holdfast
Greencoachdog Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Thanks for posting that John!!! I've been watching for this post since Holdie posted his report, I hope he posts the rest of his pics now. Nevermind Holdies gruff exterior, underneath that Drill Instructor Sargent persona lies a little fluffy puppy! Looks like y'all had a great time and I wish I could get up there and have a chance to fish with both of y'all!!!
Joey Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Great report, looks like you'll be eating good tonight A fluffy puppy Glen
HTHM Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Yes he is a decent guy to spend time with ain't he! I still have great memories of my time fishing that same lake with him. Nice spot to be, eh? What brought you to SK?
holdfast Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 More Photos. looking Forward to try that Huge Lake Deleronde John. All I know is past the Narrows is great fishing. A days ride in my Boat if the water is calm I would say John caught most of the Walleye using a minnow. I was doing great till I lost my Micro Jig. For some reason I kept loosing my fisjh when brought up 2 Feet from the Surface. I tryed small hooks, Larger hooks. Deep Hook sets, Light hook sets, and no hook sets. Still they were letting go. Almost a dozen in a row.
JohnAB Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Posted July 9, 2009 Born and raised there and my family has a cabin just by Meota. Have had it for 50 plus years. Go back quite a bit actually.
Cookslav Posted July 9, 2009 Report Posted July 9, 2009 Nice job guys, Love the scenary on the lake. it looked so remote until I saw the launch LOL! And the stringer has me craving some eyes I might add....perfect eaters Cheers,
