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.
i wasnt even cold and that was just netting it. if i get on the road driving ill take you down there and meet up with my mate it is a good spot. bought a new rod from village tackle fox 12ft 2 3/4lb test curve. and some braided line spider wire. system is working well. never used braid before gret stuff may conver tot salmon fishing with braid aswell. just need to connect with the pike.
