Paul Bourke and Senan Stanley from Lough Derg have some great pike catches to record this week. At the weekend Aaron was out with Paul and he had some serious pike including this fish of 103cm, estimated to weigh about 18lb.
Senan also had some guests out. These were two trips which were a little out of the ordinary. Both involved Senan help anglers get to grips with their new boats. When not out guiding Senan has been testing wide range (and I mean a wide range) of lures. Some of this testing was also a little our of the ordinary.
Senan was looking at some cheaper lures, unbranded, some really big soft plastics and the stingers to go with them, some hybrid lures and more. One set of lures he was looking at were the Irish designed and made L.Corr Handmade Lures. Particularly the aptly names Disco Pike. L.Corr Handmade Lures are 100% handcrafted and created by angling guide Jacek Gorny.
Handcrafted or hi-tech? Sometimes its a hybrid approach that works and Senan was inspired to mix natural materials with modern soft plastics to come up with his own range of killer lures..
