you are a fucking idiot!! pike are natural to ireland and are in most waters without you even knowing. you should not have killed them you should have simply moved them to another water as foreign anglers are killing enough pike never mind the Fisheries Board!! I can't believe my own board has been so careless
What complete ignorance! Don't they realise that having a good head of pike in any game water will only increase the quality of trout and salmon? This is just idiotic I'm amazed the Irish powers that be ar so behind on ther conservation and fishery management
I am a pike angler, and in my opinion if they know for sure that the pike have been introduced unnaturally then they should get rid of them. Trout and salmon are a huge source of revenue providing money to the local area and the country as a whole.
pike spawn brid feather bird flys into new lake ,river, and off they go.the english must think were all fucking gobshites detroying our own fisheries when pike keep fisheries free of sick and dead fish.no pike there for 10.000 years lol
Cliquey game anglers who think their sport is more valid than anyone else's. The cost to take the pike to another lake would have been similar to the cost of killing them? Stocks of pike in Ireland are being reduced by FNs, yet an official body of the state is killing them, proudly publicizing it, and lauding the pike as some sort of vermin. WTF? The arrogance and audacity of those interviewed. Pike are the freshwater apex predator, fighting as hard if not harder than any posh fish. Shame, WRFB.
You will never get them out of there. You might as well concrete it over. Pike are very tenacious. They may well have got in to the water themselves. Don't under-estimate them. It may not be anyone's fault.
This is why i hate trout anglers and the fisheries in this country. if it werent for the pike anglers in this country most lakes wouldnt see a sole for nearly six mounts of the year. And another thing were not all wankers in ireland just the fisheries board. and most game anglers.
pike is a garbage fish comparing to salmon and trouts...garbage fish and protected as title states. Most precious fish and real Irish treasure is salmon.
this a absoute joke pike are naturaly found all over ireland its easy that they have been living there for years and who cares about farmed rainbow trout pike naturally live with salom in the rivers this is a joke
@corrola100 Before you start calling people thick fucks try educate yourself a bit. Pike have been here a lot longer than 300 years. "The original word for pike, liús, is much older. Although it is impossible to pinpoint exactly when it was first used it appears that liús dates from somewhere between the 13th and the 15th century, indicating that pike could very well have been on this island much longer than we were always led to believe…" u thick fuck!
@crimbo2006 .......1 its "Esox lucius".....2 fossils of pike are not older than 400years in ireland ....3 your wrong......4 totally wrong.......5 your a thick cunt
We need those pike in other lakes and rivers after the decimation of our waters by fn's. Killing the fish is just stupid....really...C'mon... What's an hour drive to put them elsewhere...Morons
Bally go Backwards - all the fish can live together and have lived together. I caught Pike in Corrib over 30 years ago. Plus the Pike could be the answer to the Fishing tourist industry if it is looked after.
Typical dumb Irish Fisheries Officers. Maybe the fairies put them there ! Greedy bastards, anyhow go sell your site and make sure your septic tank runs into the lake you thick fuckers.
fuck the pike yea they could have transported them but that would waste more money sure that uneducated orange cunt 666767 can have them all if hes so concerned calling irish people scum cant even spell.
i heard about this. apparently there's a run only trout and salmon can pass to get into the lake, bypassing a man-made structure, a dam or something. it's a bit narrow minded to think that pike wouldn't get in after the flooding we've had and the easy transport from passing birds.
waste of time trying to catch the pike, no chance of catching them all. even if they did, they'd get back in.
the old stock just want to blame someone and say it was on purpose to get the wrfb to remove them.
@anthonybarrett79 Impossible to tell now. Not sure how long the structure is there, by design and weathering i'd say the 60's? We had record flooding in the area the year the pike were spotted, high enough to bypass the structure. They could have been introduced but I'm not convinced. There's no getting rid of them now, waste of time and effort trying.
Have to say.... Might not have been people who introduced the pike... could be that a bird had eggs on its legs... landed in the water and Tadaaa.... pike.
I am a game angler myself and have a great love for trout and salmon...however this act in my opinion is just another example of how ignorant and uneducated the wrfb really is,these pike could easily have found their way into these waters naturally,and from what I have heard have been in bofin for years!.A fortune of badly needed funds will be wasted trying to remove these pike ,all its gonna do is prolong the inevitable!...this is a disgrace and an imbarrasment.
@666767 oh wise one, please do share with us your infinite wisdom on pike. graciously grant us your sacred knowledge in the interests of man and beast alike and allow us to prosper with the pike and not against the fabled beast. help us to understand its needs and not to persecute it for its nature. we are not worthy in your online domain.
@666767 now can you tell me wat that comment is about fishing little uneducated boy, and by the way i dont come form ireland but from belfast. but just your remarks make me have a good laugh. keep going to school young man and take up english and spelling as your work. have a nice day young man or boy i should say .
lmao i hate to say it but nature will find away they will never get the pike out of there now plus it was nature that more than likely got them there eggs may have been brought in be travaling geese as stupid as it sounds it happens son often
