Ireland is famous for big bream fishing and Lough Kerr is one of the reasons why, as not only is there every chance you could catch a new PB, but you could also beat the national record! This perfectly formed venue of 18 acres is steeped in history and feels like time has stood still with ancient stone walls and mature foliage whilst the superb water quality makes it perfect for big bream to grow on. The lough is visited by some of the best anglers in Europe who are all chasing the elusive records it holds including ‘Banshee’ that has been caught at an incredible 21lbs.



Although all the attention is on the bream fishing, this lake also holds carp to just under 25lbs and good sized tench, roach and rudd. There are also three single player tournaments for you to master and three career mode events, as well as five new achievements that come with this venue.

Narrow channels, vegetation and shallows that a traditional boat couldn’t reach means that the ‘Haichou Explorer’ kayak that comes with this pack is vital for exploring the lake and tracking down some of the beastly trophy fish living within.



The beautiful peacock bass fights harder than all other bass and can be found up to an incredible 23lbs. The terrifying looking wolf fish can grow up to 38lbs but with huge, razor sharp teeth, you will need strong gear.





Catch Arapaima that grow up to a huge 450lbs, red tail catfish go to 120lbs and black pacu up to 70lbs. Laguna Iquitos also has 25 new trophy fish and 3 new career events for you to master.
