18 pound pike Oaks trout fishery Derry North of Ireland
this is my mate. he only started fishing for pike in septmeber. he has had one 20lb this one at 18 two at fifteen a number of doubles and several smaller pike. taken on varous methods. there is a pike in this fishery that weighed over the irish record but the scales were not officially zeroed so it was invalid as arecord claim. she was returned however and swam off strongly. great wee fishery. £15 for a day at the pike fishing. boats are free at the moment. usual cost £10 for the day.

the braid is very good when using the prawn and shrimp, easy to apply grease to it, so lien stays on surface.
