PREDATOR BATTLE IRELAND 2022 ALMOST READY TO KICK OFF!

Predator Battle Ireland 2022 almost ready to kick off on Lough Derg, Killaloe/Ballina, Ireland. Lough Derg part of the river Shannon system (350km) will be the centre for the Battle the coming days/week. 18 September Sign-In, 19, 20 and 21 September competition days, 22 September prize giving.

The last 2 years we had some problems with all the covid rules in the world but that looks far behind us know, of course we use a few old covid rules for the older fishermen like me 😊

The first Prize of 2022 again from Alumacraft Europe the Escape 165 tiller with a powerful Suzuki 50 hp. The boat trailer is tailor made for Alumacraft by Kalf trailers. 2021 we had a blue boat but for 2022 an black one which looks more popular!

Finally ready with all sponsor deals and agreements, loads of stress this year I can tell you!

But this is the final amount to give away in 2022 😊 Including free goodies and food! Check here all the prizes sponsors 2022

Not an easy year after 2 years covid and now that bloody war in Ukraine ☹Prices/costs are mad on the moment! Some sponsors cancelled, some ….. just gone, some needed help, some needed more money, some didn’t survive, some changed value, some new ones 😊 And of course the ones who are always here with us, thank you so much!

Lough Derg is ready for it, hope all participants as well because they have 3 days to catch 4 pike, 3 perch and 1 trout, total length makes the winner. We have an Catch Photo Video and Release system what means that you have to make a photo and video of your fish as proof. And to get high in the ranking you have to pass the 500cm for sure! 😊

When you have to fight as a Viking like in the Predator Battle Ireland you need a sword!! (No excuses)

And when you really fight hard for it you will win this amazing boat from Alumacraft or one of the other great prizes.

So who will be the winner 0f 2022….. soon we will know so please follow us on facebook we will try to get so much as possible live so hope you will enjoy it all…. and of course follow it here on this great website.

If you like to see the winners of the last years with their scores check it here please.

PREDATOR BATTLE IRELAND 2022

PREDATOR BATTLE IRELAND.  Goodbye 2021, Welcome 2022.

Open to enter for 2022

Next year we have an anniversary 2012 – 2022 so don’t miss it we like to celebrate this with you! The real growth came after 2016! We changed the name for edition 2017 to give it its own identity to “Predator Battle Ireland”. Of course it could have failed but it didn’t, an increase of teams and sponsors was the proof.

Predator Battle Ireland Day 2 Done.

Day 2 was perfect again with the only difference ….big fish and more complete teams on the end of the day. So many teams have a full house see the results below and tomorrow we expect more complete teams while others are improving their score with bigger ones ( 4 pike, 3 perch and 1 trout needed ) Lees “Predator Battle Ireland Day 2 Done.” verder

Predator Battle Ireland Day 1 done!

Finally we could start the Battle after a year of preparing on a very nice day! After checking 60 boats and answering some questions of the participants we could start at 9 am. Some boats are so big that we really need extra time to check all compartments and bags but… all good 😊


This year they had to make a photo of their catch and a small video after to check the length again. It is pretty simple but still a few with the fish with the belly on the wrong side or missing the day card proof…no score! We know its not nice when your fish doesnt count but if we say yes to one mistake we have to accept all mistakes…..

Nico en Herman had section C but it looks like they are scared for me or so haha almost no fishermen till maybe 2 pm. Lucky enough to see some teams catching fish and made a few photos of them. But in general the most teams had problems to catch their fish today in a westerly wind!

Weather for tomorrow looks like the same but hopefully more feeding fish and more bigger ones.

Below the results of day 1 which looks good when you are in the top 3 but that can change quickly tomorrow 😊

Boat delivery to the winners of Predator Battle Ireland 2020

Never easy to say goodbye to a boat combination like this, Alumacraft Escape 165 tiller with a Suzuki 50hp on it a new brand boat trailer from “Kalf Trailers” the Alumacraft special R750-57, but this team fought hard for it!

Before the guys arrived we had the boat ready for them and the weather helped big time for the photos! So we could explain some things before using it, told them to take time to investigated all buttons and possibilities.

First something about the new brand trailer from Kalf trailers. Alumacraft Europe wanted a boat trailer tailor made for their boats and that worked out very nice! To be honest… I am very surprised by those Kalf trailers they really know what they are doing (making), eye for details for sure!

Definitely not someone who saws tube profiles in a garage and then welds them together! I had a welding and construction company myself for many years so I know where I’m talking about. I see laser cut mounting plates, I don’t see any sharp corners that can tear, etc. I see an eye for details….. have a look yourself 😊

The Alumacraft Escape 165 with the Suzuki 50hp…wow what can I say for that price!! 😊 The winners of last year kept the boat as well and fished the 2020 competition with it so I kept an eye open for that boat. What can I say…I want one myself haha, no really no bullshit sponsor kiss ass story or whatsoever, the performance of that boat on a big lake like Lough Derg….bring it on!


Competitions…what can I say? Just to keep it short…. I am very happy again that the winners of 2020 keep the boat 😊 So each year we see more and more Alumacraft boats on the Irish waters!

Predator Battle Ireland day 3 the final day!

When you start your day as leading team you must be very nervous, team 1 Julian and Krzysztof had the best score ever in the Battle, is that beatable?? I’m sure that there are enough teams who could do it!

After the boat check a small pep talk to the teams that the fight is not over yet so after some screaming we left to the starting point to kick off ….full speed. Lees “Predator Battle Ireland day 3 the final day!” verder
