a great days pike fishing

[niall_b73 41]

well we set of on saturday to enniskillen to get to the boats that we had hired for the day.

seven of us in total fishing 3 in one boat and 4 in the other.

when we arrived there the weather could not have been any better, the sun was shining and a slight breeze.

so boats loaded up we set of. i wanted to fish a spot that had always proven itself great in the past, it was about an hour and a half up the lake at full steam ahead.

we stopped at a few fishey looking spots along the way and they did produce single fish.

finally we arrived at the destination i wanted to try.

it was a large, pretty shallow bay with a lot of weed at the bottom end but boy did it pay off.

in total out of our boat of four including myself (who caught five) there was 19 pike caught the biggest being 8 n 1/2lb

 

the total from the other boat of three was 15 pike the biggest there being 10 n 1/2lb

most the fish were small jacks but good fun all the same.

all caught on variuos spinners/plugs.

lure of the day..... copper/silver spoon

 

 

the pike of the day from our boat, 8 n a half lb

the same fish being landed:

 

all fish were returned
