Recent fishing




Arunas has been doing a lot of piking lately and he and I fished Lough Down to see how its fishing for the upcoming match. Arunas had more fish than me - I spent too much time on worm trying for skimmers. We caught a roach a chuck on maggot, mostly small but there were any number there to be caught. Arunas pike are from the Clare river and the Cregg river also produced a few for him. We were going to try the rivers for roach but headed to Lough Down instead as it was blowing a gale.

Recent Fishing...


This was early August, fishing in Parky after getting keys from the forresters who were harvesting the trees around the lake a the time. Fishing with Martin Davitt, tnhe club secretary. It fished ok and we hoped for a good match on 12th September. It was not to be though as despite a good attendance and all but one peg being fished it did not fish well and was won by Rory Dunne, who found big hybrids and bream on the feeder, second was Cathal Hughes with his usual bag of fish way bigger than anyone thought...I came third and did not really deserve it. Only got the result after setting up the feeder half way throught the match to try to keep up with Rory. So much for the practice which saw me catch bream close in on the waggler...
Another match was fished since then on the Joinery and was won by Cathal Hughes (again) with Arunas coming second. We are on the Joinery again this Sunday (30th Sept) and again for tnhe Adrian O'Sullivan on the following Saturday (6th Oct). Its fishing well enough with plenty of roach to be caught on the high and low pegs, and skimmers and bream for the lucky few in between... More posts with results form these over the next fortnight.
