Hi from new member in Ireland

[lakefisher]

Hi I am new to the forum. I live in the West of Ireland having moved here from England a few years ago for the Pike fishing .I mainly fish for large Pike from boats on the great Loughs and Rivers . The pike fishing here can be quite a challenge as they can be hard to locate at times, however when you find them most fish have never been caught before and fight like mad!

I also have also a great interest in Pike fishing in Scandinavia and would welcome making contact with other keen pike anglers in that part of the world to discuss pike fishing tactics.

I have had most of my Pike in past with dead baits either trolling or static fishing but I am now gradually coming to terms with modern lure fishing with large Lures and Jerkbaits which I am starting to get a few decent fish on , although I am by no means an expert at lure fishing and still have a lot to learn about it

Welcome lakefisher. Nice to have another freshwater boat angler with us.

Hi, I'm Dublin based but have fished Corrib a couple of times. Prefer to fish the Suck & have had some success there. This may be of interest if you haven't checked it already:-

Hi Jim, thanks for details of the Irish site which I didn't know about, I will have a look at it .I have not yet tried Corrib but I have also fished the Suck as I have had several holidays on hire cruisers on the Shannon and have done some pike fishing on the lower Suck.
