It’s all about pike this week and we had another eventful week here in the Angling World. Earlier last week the weather got mild, and some super pike came on the feed. I teamed up with Mullingar pike angler Barry Darby and we had a few cracking doubles trolling colourful lures. It changed for the [...]

No I am not going to tell you a few fishy jokes, but last weekend I took a cracking picture of English Angler Marty Smith, Scottish Angler Alex Nickelson, and Irish Angler, Ger Bradley having lunch while out pike fishing. It was certainly a tough weekend for angling, and the wind kept anglers fishing small [...]

Mountjoy Pike Anglers were in the Midlands last Saturday January 14th, and they caught some cracking pike. Liam O’Connell produced a super 22lbs beauty. I also ventured for a few days at the pike with younger brother J.J. and we had some great fun, lure fishing. Our pike were not Monsters, but they were very [...]

Well, eventually the high winds settled, and anglers could venture out on our lakes and rivers. Mind you this week more talking was done about fishing, as the Irish Angling Development Alliance hosted their A.G.M. in Mullingar Park Hotel. Delegates from many of their affiliated clubs attended and it was a very productive meeting. Also this [...]

Well it’s back to business this week, and I hope you had a very enjoyable Christmas. It was hard going this week in very cold and windy conditions trying to get a few pike. Still we managed 5 fish on Ennell, Tuesday of this week, and Glore anglers produced 3 fish on Wednesday December 28th [...]

Well here we are and another year has passed in the Angling World. It was a savage cold week on the Lakes and Rivers, and I broke Ice for the first time this year to venture out. Mind you it was certainly worth the effort as we boated some huge pike, and beautiful perch. I [...]

Well is their anyone out their that has not got this flu that is taking the County by storm. I was hit for six last week, and did not get a   lot of fishing done. Not to worry things are picking up, and I was out at the weekend, but came off Ennell fishless. Earlier [...]

The water Temperature is dropping, and the levels of our lakes and rivers are rising. It was certainly another mixed week in the Angling World. I eventually got around to testing the few D.A.M. lures I had, and next week will lash a few to one lucky visitor. The Brosna River was in full flow [...]

Over the years Lough Ennell has produced some huge pike, and this week we received a super photo of a 25lbs plus Monster. Plus we managed to get our hands on the photo of Pat Keenaghan and his prize-winning pike from Derravaragh Anglers Christmas pike competition. I was on Derravaragh recently with my angling pal [...]

Last Sunday up on fifty anglers young and old ventured out on Derravaragh. We fished the Philip Moffatt Memorial Cup, and also the Derravaragh Anglers hosted their Christmas competition on the same day. It was a cracking day weather wise, and some anglers hooked up with pike. The perch are starting to show up in [...]
