Paul Bourke and Senan Stanley, well known angling guides, are getting some great pike fishing on Lough Derg this month. Paul reports…
Big Powerful pike are smashing our lures hard this November, so hard in fact this one even broke my favourite rod in half! It’s unusual for a rod to break like this. Might have struck the fish a small bit hard – thought it was bigger!

Also enjoying testing some new handmade lures, including some over 50cm! the pike seem to like them.
Thick in all the right places! This one hit the lure in shallow water, great condition, very powerful on the jerkbait gear!
