There was a drop in temperatures last week, so Paul Bourke from Irish Fishing Tours was back on Lough Derg to make the most of it. Paul reports…
Drop in temperatures on Tuesday morning with a fresh December chill and a super day of casting lures! We had 16 Pike total. The top 5 came in at 110cm, 106cm, 105cm, 94cm and 91cm.
Go big or go home! We’ve caught pike on loads of interesting handmade lures this year, this one is 60cm fully stretched
We like to unhook the fish from inside the landing net, keeping the fish in the water and only lifting it out for a quick length/photo before releasing! Doing this keeps the fish stress of handling to a minimum and gives us the best chance of catching it again in a few years when it’s even bigger!
Go fishing…
Taking bookings now for December so email us at [email protected] to book, vouchers available now also for gifts!
