German anglers Peter and Michaela were successful on Lake Muckno last week managing a 101cm pike in very difficult conditions. In general it turned out to be rather complicated to get the pike to take a lure. The husband and wife team think that this was due to the brown water and the almost permanent sunshine, though the admitted that maybe they didn’t find the “right” lure.
Peter heaped praise on Declan Connolly from Alice’s Loft and Cottages in Castleblaney who provided boat, engine and accommodation, and was always ready to help and assist.
