This year Jack Gorny and I - Corrib Predator Team- decided to fish for 3-4 days in a row from very start of the season. We couldn't wait to go out and try new ideas and techniques which we have thought about and discussed for all dull winter weeks. This years mild weather was very promising for an early success. With water temp just over 7 degree, we jumped into our boats on early morning of Opening Day.

It didn't take long until we turned our theories into results!

We fished for 3 days in mostly windy and rainy conditions- not great for Ferox fishing. Later, after checking the weather forecast we decided to go back to the lake on Sunday. It was beautiful day. It would be a shame not to spend it on the water.

To make long story short:
We have landed 8 superb Trout - 50cm, 75cm, 76cm, 78cm, 80cm, 82cm, 83cm, and monster fish at 90cm!
My best fish was a great conditioned beast at 83 cm and 17lb.

Jack got future record breaker- fish at 90 cm weighed "only" 17lb 6 oz now, but later in the season he will gain some weight.... Note that there is 7 cm difference between those two fish, and the weight is nearly the same.
Also one Trout was caught by our Guest on Sunday- Tomek got his PB by landing Ferox at 84.5cm and 16lb 3oz!
So that is 9 fish in total. Average size of all fish was well over 10 lbs and that makes beginning of the new season even more successful! We could have rounded the record to 10 fish caught, but on Sunday I lost Trout of around 13- 15 lb just at the boat...

We were hoping for good start of the season, but this was even beyond our expectations.
All fish were returned in great condition and it's only a matter of time when we meet them again, so roll on in the New Season!
