nice 1 mate, i did the same about 3 weeks ago, and was chuffed to bits with myself. but then i was also told that it is illegal to keep a kelt & what is more i think it is the same in the uk. sorry but i dont mean to ruin your catch. like that i was advised to take the pic of the fish down so as not to cause anymore trouble for myself. ( my post http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=147085 ) tight lines, niall_b73

Lough Key - Easter Pike Festival Boyle and District Angling Club hosted the 18th Annual Easter Pike Angling Festival over the weekend in reasonably favourable weather conditions. A large number of anglers, spectators and well wishers attended at the Doon Shore on both days of the competition. We also celebrated the 30th anniversary of the formation of our club. On shore entertainment and regular updates of information were provided by Dj Richie Burke and Martin Walshe. As usual the ladies at the BBQ and catering marquee ably helped by Jordan Maye, did themselves proud with the r

alright mate. try this fella stevie nixon on 07800878192 i hire off him. his boat os situated at the round o in enniskillen and you can head up the river erne from there. on a days trolling you would make it as far as tamlagh bay on lough erne. but you could drive her flat out as far as carrybridge and fish up there. there are a lot of good spots the whole way up the journey.good p***y water i hired from the manor house marina last week, 4 of us and went as far as enniskillen and not a bite there and back. its like you say way to much water. this is his boat: she will

it sounds like 1 hell of a trip. but unfortunately i would be limited to the one day. i had a look earlier at the website for the company you mentioned above they are really only seemed to be catering for the people staying with them and it is a little further than where i am looking now. i did have a look at some of there pics on their gallery, some pretty amazing fish on there: http://www.catmastertours.com/index.html i have been in contact with another website and have been quoted euro for the lot. rods, reels, guide, pellets the lot for the day and it is closer to where i am stayin

four of us hired a boat on lough erne in search of a few pike today and fished from 10am till 4pm. we went from the manor house marina as far as the lakeland fourm and back. not as much as a bite the whole journey. i can safely say i wont be hiring a boat from there again. tho loking on the bright side of things i finally got to try out 1 of my new fishfinders, the garmin ff140. it is quite a handy machine for telling the depth and the shapr of the bottom tho i have to say for all of the few fish that did show up it would make you wonder why we bother trying to catch the fish at all. mo

Mackerel: Fresh mackerel is a fabulous bait. Flash frozen mackerel will do the trick but it is not as effective as fresh fish. Mackerel is presented in any number of ways to entice everything from dabs to cod to big shark. It is incredibly versatile and easy to find. On boat trips, it will be free in that you can catch a boxload heading out or at marks. Collection: Collecting mackerel as bait is simple from a boat. Mackerel can be pulled out six at a time on a set of feathers (Hookai are good but keep the hook size down to 2/0) if you hit a shoal. Six mackerel is the "full house" - w
