wildhunter.ie?sca_ref=3939922.CmiiEIUUGK Hi guys
So I Got to fish for two days with the local legend that is Paul Bourke of Irish fishing tours. We hooked a crazy amount of pike and landed 22. With the biggest being 107cm and 105cm, average size was 90cm which was unreal sport.
I also hooked a stunning out of season brown trout whilst casting for pike of 63cm 6lb which was carefully released after a quick photo.
Anybody looking to learn some new techniques or even for a bit of savage sport get onto Paul at Irishfishingtours.com he’s as sound as they come and his knowledge of the Lough Derg is second to none.

Nice one bud 💪🎣

[@kieran3237]

Brilliant fishing...what lures were you using?Spill the beans😆

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Sound bud 😅 there wasn’t any secret lure for this trip, as long as the lure was being presented near the bottom on a slow retrieve through the baitfish, any 20cm shads and eels done the job 🐊

@@senanstanleyfishing excellent, I'd like to get some lessons from paul,techniques and good locations.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

He’s an unbelievable guide, I’ve been fishing Derg for 17/18 years myself since I was around 7 or 8 out on the boat every single weekend and Paul still managed to teach me new things 👏👏 definitely worth doing a day or two with him I couldn’t recommend him more

[@kieran3237]

@@senanstanleyfishing thanks Senan,I think I'll do that,I'm fairly new to pike fishing,had a boat on Derg for a few yrs but would love to get an experts guidance cos otherwise I am just going out hoping for the best is frustrating.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Do 100% get in contact with him and book a day 👍 il bring ya out myself but I’m very busy at the minute with holidays and work coming up to Christmas and I’ve a few lads to take out before then, get onto Paul he’s the man you want 🎣🐊

[@Alexander.Chuchman]

How much does such a boat cost if you count everything together with the electronics?

[@senanstanleyfishing]

It wouldn’t be my place to say as it’s not my boat ✌️

[@Alexander.Chuchman]

@@senanstanleyfishing More than 20 thousand?

@@senanstanleyfishing ah ok i was confused an was thinking yous were up on lough derg in donegal 🙈😅🤣

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Haha no hassle bud, I didn’t even know there was a Lough Derg in Donegal 😂😂👍

[@kieran3237]

Hi senan,viewers..just looking for advice on a boat please...I fish out of DROMINEER on lough derg and am looking at buying a lake boat..I am currently looking at a 17ft lake boat?How good/safe would that be on such a large lake?I know I have been recommended the 19ft but not sure what to do. Thanks.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Kieran What’s the price on the 17ft boat your looking at ? I know a lad in nenagh selling a 19ft supreme anglers fancy with a 9.9 2stroke Yamaha and galvanized trailer, 4 scotty rod holders, he’s after 4K for the whole package he only took it out of the water last week, just said I’d mention it to you 👍 the 17ft boat is fine on a calm day but you can’t put a price on your safety when the wind picks up ✌️

[@kieran3237]

@@senanstanleyfishing hi Senan,its €1950..I'd be definitely interested in that boat if the price was ok.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Send me a message on Facebook and il send you the lads name who’s selling the boat and you can message him yourself you might be able to work out a deal with him bud ☺️👍

[@kieran3237]

@@senanstanleyfishing will do thanks Senan

[@dannyphelan6712]

No wonder the trout fishing is crap on Derg when you have a pike infestation like that. 😡

[@TewFakinEzzay]

Halfwit. Yeah - I wonder why the IFI don't start culling the Pike on Derg like the Corrib to satisfy some nutjob fanatical Trout anglers. A lot of good it has done on the Corrib eh genius. Good fishing Senan, Paul put ye on the fish! Don't mind the numpty.

[@senanstanleyfishing]

Ah the trout fishing isn’t too bad on Derg I’ve caught and released about 300 this season, with one 6lb and one 8lb4oz, majority were in the 1 lb bracket very small, I think the trout fishing would improve a lot if more of the trout fisherman practiced catch and release. It seems they consider everything above 14inches a “keeper” and keep everything for the pan, but pollution and poaching is a big factor aswel on Derg. I wouldn’t blame pike personally but everyone’s allowed there opinion. ☺️👍

[@awilderireland]

You mean a trout infestation. 😂

[@Irishfishingtours]

Maybe the trout fishermen are crap😅 best trout for us this year 84cms 😉
