The Meathhill Angling Club members have some fine fishing recently at Lough Derry where really good bream to over 7lb were taken during a couple of night sessions reports Garrett O’Reilly…
We had heard reports of good bream coming off Lough Derry so John, Larry and I decided to spend a couple of days targeting them last week and Jock joined us on the second night just as the two other lads called it a day.
On the first night all of us caught a few tench and some good bream to over 7 lb. We all lost a few good fish as well with myself doing battle with one very big bream for quite some time. But it dragged me into the lillies in the end and escaped the hook. I can only guess how big she really was!
Best bait seemed to be corn, although a with a few of my fish were caught on 10 mm halibut pellet. Corn accounted for most of the fish overall and all my fish were caught very close at only about 2 rod lengths out on the waggler in about 12 ft of water.
