The Bigwater jack

Gravel beach at Blesso

Typical irish weather
Yellowfin pike


Catch of the day



Yesterday, we made a trip to the Pollaphuca Reservoir ( I like the name- sound like the name of ancient Mayan temple) I have never fished there before, freshwater lake of this size neither. It was something different for me. The amazing big scenery. Some dissapointment also. The water level was at least 8ft lower than normal. Dubliners were very thirsty recently :) We have found hundreds of acres uncovered gravel beaches mixed up with dried water weeds. The hot spots, which used to house big pike mummys, became the prairie now. Fishing was very difficult then. We tried many lures, different sizes, colours and shapes. Fruitless. At the end of the day I managed to catch the yellowfin jack :)
