I like the sound of the pairs competition. Maybe if the idea works out for the next year or two we could try sending the winners to the World Championships as Irish Reps. There's some very good anglers in the country at the present moment, I can't see why anyone winning a competition in this country now with the calibre of anglers about should feel out of their depth at the world championships. I see Wales had teams in for the past few years, why aren't we entering? Just a thought.

Cheers lads for the organising, I hope everything goes as smoothly as it always does. Leave us know about the venues as soon as possible. Cheers.

paul we have already had a meeting and trust me i brought it to the attention of the commitee. cause its bing a long time since ireland had a fishing world champion and as you said " why not" . we have the calibre of good anglers in ireland to compete with the so called big boys of the carp world. Very Happy

I'm sure you could apply to the ISC for a grant like the NCFFI (Coarse) and the IFSA (Sea) do annually. First thing first though... you would need to get ISC recognition as the National Governing Body (NGB) for Carp Fishing in Ireland.

I fished in the final on the lough last year and really enjoyed it a team event would be interesting.

The Lough will be ready to go in a week so if the boys want to reschedule the heat again, belt away.
