worm and sweetcorn to catch two tench.Best was 4.5lbs.
>Four anglers from England contacted local Gillie Aidan Kelly
to bring them pike fishing on 11/06 and on 13/06.Aidan used
two lake boats with light engines and a friend for the task.
The first day they had a combined catch of 18 pike and some
20 big perch.Aidan figured that the spoons used were too small
and attracted the perch.On the second day they had a total of
21 pike.Bait used was dead bait and spoons.All fish were returned
safely to the Shannon.Aidan found it very weedy in some deep
water.Aidan Kelly can be contacted at 087-7497024 if you
require the services of a Gillie.Both days fair weather.
>Dave Kemp and Steve Nell are on a coarse fishing break.
They did not record their catches but Steve told me that one
day Dave had seven skimmers with best about 1.5lbs.
