Gerry Casey made the big splash on the Tuesday before Christmas when he went pike fishing along with his friends John Gleeson and John Coleman. Using dead bait they caught five pike weighing 4 lbs, 11 lbs, 16 lbs, 18 lbs and John had a whopper that weighed four ounches short of 29 lbs. Naturally as is their practise all the fish were returned alive and well.
Good to see Michael Priest and three friends making a short fishing visit to Shannonbridge this week. Locals will remember Michael when he used to come on holiday with his late wife June. Hope he remembers where the fish hide.
