On a short visit to Ireland John McNella from Watford, UK, along with his son James tried their hands at some pike fishing. Father and son met up with local angling guide, Kenny Sloan, Foxford, to fish some of the lakes nearby. The weather was mild and a moderate southwest wind made for good fishing conditions. James, who had never fished before, landed a total of six pike trolling, while his father had four ,biggest around 14lbs.
