    The Lough Ree International Pike Angling Festival is here to stay. Ireland’s latest angling event was a resounding success fished over three days on the vast 16 mile long lough at Athlone – and to win any of the six prizes each day it was necessary to catch a pike of 18lb or more! More than 60 anglers – from Germany, France, England, Northern Ireland and Ireland – competed from boats launched from Coosan Point and Hodson Bay as they battled to catch the biggest fish and win the €3,000 first prize and share in a total cash prize fund of €10,000 The champion for 2010 is Kevi

    where do you fish for them if you dont mind me asking ?? off the old pier/walkway or off the boulders placed round the walkway or somewhere else ?? niall_b73
  7. niall_b73
    yeah sure is a nice 1. i can remember my dad taking me to mullaghmore harbour and watching the fellas fishing off the the old walkway for congers. they have changed that harbour walk way now and i never see anybody fishing off it now at all. i wonder if they are still there ? niall_b73 do people eat conger ??

    realistically speaking i think i would like to try and catch mself some pollack. but anything would be a bonus even a days fishing for dogfish would pass a day. like i said above it is all new to me so all info above is valuable to me. even knowing where to fish and what for would benifit me, different habbitats for different fish niall_b73

    its a bit quiet lately to tell you the truth, i dont no if its down to the fact that we have been trying new waters but hope to get back up to upper lough erne soon. so should pick up what about yourself's have you been catching any lately ?? niall_b73

    ok people as you probably no i normally fish for pike. but i now want to turn my hand hand to the sea fishing from the shore/rocks for pretty much anything. basically i want to see what kind of rigs are used for the different types of fishing from the shore be it beach or the rocks. pic's would be great with explanitions of the rigs/setup ie: hook sizes beads bait names of rigs ect... many thanks for your help niall_b73

    well we set out again last saturday to try a new lough on the border that we had not fished before. we got there about 9 and set out on the boat & started spinning. this is a big lough so had done a full lap of it and nothing. on the second trip around the lake we concentrated more on the shallow bays and not long after that bang (finally after 3 full days of no fish) i had a fish. it was only a small jack pike but a pike none the less. further up another bay i hit into another pike this one turned out to be just over 6lb & the biggest of the day. later we were trolling

    i just had a whole smoked mackerel from lidl, very tastey indeed niall_b73

    well done on the catch, a nice big fat blackhead worm (i am not being racist) always does it for me espically after a little rain fall when the river is settling down try it on a float or on the bottom. niall_b73

    valid point tho i have to say having a fishfinder and being on lough erne there were hardly any fish showing up at all. you would think on a big water like that you would be bumping into shoal after shoal but it was not meant to be !! niall_b73

    had a boat hired on a small lake on the border near belleek looking for pike. we bailed out all the water and set up the fishfinder and headed out into the lake. plenty of fish showing up and in very deep water. but fcuk me if the water did'nt start to fill in the boat. it was coming in as quick as i could bale it out so had to come ashore. got a refund and got another water tight boat for lower lough erne. i shall return. so now we were out on lower lough erne (which was very low on water) all day saturday with a mate and we tried everything under the sun and not as much as a b
