Lough Lene

Had a mate of mine +his brother and young nephew up for a few hours fishing on lene last sunday.We set out around 10am and were not gone 40yds when owen the young lad 9 hooked his 1st ever pike and he was delighted.He was also next in again with a perch and his da then with a nice pike.We then had a bit to eat on the island and let the rain pass and then out on the boat again.We fished,well they did as i was just on the motor until 5pm and finished with 9 pike and 4 perch,also young owen lost a really good brown trout but they enjoyed themselves as they had never caught pike before.It was a good day apart from the rain which did not last long when it came but was very heavy.All fish were released unharmed as it should be with course fish.

Sound's like a great day was had, and a new pike fisherman was born good, he will remember catching his first pike, good to hear that all were released unharmed, too many have trouble unhooking pike and end up causing damage, it's good to show the younger lad's the right way.

You were in good company Fatman. I can only imagine what the topic of conversation was, LOL.

Not like you to not bring home something for the frying pan.
