French visitors enjoy first pike trip to Ireland.
Kevin Lyons reports from the River Shannon in Co. Longford, where father Christophe and son Louis were over in Ireland for their first ever pike fishing trip and stay with host Kevin of Melview Fishing Lodge, they managed to catch some nice pike into the 90s cm casting both hard and soft lures. Host Kevin said, “It’s always nice when people come for their first time and catch a few nice pike during their stay. The fishing was at times difficult due to the hot and calm conditions but they just fished on and it paid off for them in the end, well done guys and we hope to see you back in Ireland again soon!”
During their stay they managed some lovely pike to 97 cm using both dead baits and lures.
ALL FISH RETURNED UNHARMED.
