Pike shore fishing on Lough Corrib. Galway. Private guided. French/Eng

Pike fishing on the shores of Lough Corrib is highly regarded by anglers worldwide. This renowned fishing destination offers the opportunity to catch trophy pike from mid-July to mid-December. The lake’s vast waters and rich ecosystem provide ideal conditions for various angling techniques.  

Your private guide will help determine the best fishing method for the day, ensuring an optimal experience. Popular techniques include spinning, which involves casting baits or lures from a stationary position. Dead-baiting is another effective approach, using natural bait such as perch, roach, herring, or eel with a float. This method works best when there is sufficient wind to allow the float to drift naturally. Anglers often combine dead-baiting with spinning for greater success.  

A more recent technique, jerk baiting, has gained popularity on Lough Corrib. This method requires specialized equipment, including a specific rod and reel, along with a selection of jerk baits designed to mimic the movements of prey. Whether using traditional or modern techniques, Lough Corrib promises an exciting and rewarding pike fishing adventure.
