A good day piking on the Erne for Jack and Aaron with Lure Guides

Steven Powell of Lure Guides reports on his weekend’s adventures…

We had the pleasure of young Jack and his dad Aaron for the day on Monday. While both of them like cycling and the football they wanted to sample some of our prime sports fishing venues for the chance of their next personal best

The day started with some light rain and then later cleared and became warm overcast with sunny spells which makes great fishing weather for the lure angler. Jack got to test out driving the boat under watchful eye as we went to our first spot.

It was a slow start with an odd fish here and there – plenty of missed bites but as soon as it was tea time – and a cup of tea was brewed – the fishing kicked off. Taking a bite out of my first sandwich the rod was nearly yanked from our grip and quickly young jack  landed his  first double of the day.

As the tea break recommenced – the lure was sent out again and we were just getting tucking in to chicken sandwiches, crisps  and buns when we hooked up again. After that we landed another 4 or 5 in quick succession.

It was a great day’s crack and we were super happy to have Jack and Aaron on board –  when you loose count out how many you caught then you have most certainly had a good days fishing!
