Following on from a successful day’s coarse fishing on Lough Ramor last week, Mikey Mooney decided to try his hand at a bit of pike fishing later in the afternoon and evening time. Mikey was visiting with Bluebell Angling Club stalwarts Paul Byrne and Phil O’Neill.
Ramor has been producing a few nice pike recently for anglers fishing from the shore. The majority of fish are being taken on legered dead bait. The recent heavy rains had led to a rise in water levels, but this did not deter Mikey.
As evening drew in Mikey got a run and struck into a decent pike. The fish was netted after a good fight with the weighing scales showing that Mikey had just broken his personal best (PB) pike record. The fish weighed in at 12.9lbs. A huge well done to Mikey on his success. We look forward to hearing about the lads future fishing exploits and outings.
