Andre and friend Dammes from Holland were invited over to Ireland for a long weekend of Pike fishing by Kevin Lyons owner of Melview Fishing Lodge.  Kevin said the first few days they experienced some very high winds which made it difficult at times but they were still able to catch a fair few Pike but they were not the size they were looking for. He reports;

The last day we decided on a different location and it paid off for the guys landing some nice Pike to 1m+, guide Kevin said it was not only the fishing that made it a great 1m+day but Andre company owner of Marcraft Boats in Holland where I purchased my boat done 85% of the driving so I took the opportunity to have a fish and relax for the day. Dammes is already planning a return trip in the near future, Kevin said it was a great weekend all round thanks guys.

Dammes caught this Pike on what looked like a large cockerel when cast.
