On a recent patrol on the River Shannon Padraig Carroll met David Nugent from Dublin who had travelled down to Meelick for a day’s pike fishing. David reported that the pike fishing was brilliant with regular doubles being landed.
Sure enough while Padraig was speaking there was the scream of a bite alarm and after 10 minutes of a hard fight between man and pike David landed a beautiful double figure fish. David was fishing mackerel deadbait fished hard on the bottom.
