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.

Predator Battle Ireland: deel 5 laatste wedstrijd dag.

Amai… wat was me dat! Vorige editie had de winnaar 514cm, en gisteren na de 2e dag was er al een team met 520cm. Niet normaal dus. Waar je eerder gemiddeld genomen met goede vissen hoog in het klassement zat moet je nu van elke soort topvissen vangen. Voor ons zagen we dat er een team was met meer cm dan wij, maar die mankeerden nog een forel… niet normaal! Lees verder “Predator Battle Ireland: deel 5 laatste wedstrijd dag.”

Killaloe Bridge

Killaloe view over the Shannon river.
De dag na de laatste visdag alle foto’s nog even dubbel gecheckt, klein foutje is zo maar gemaakt in alle hectiek maar alles was correct! Toen alle prijzen met bijbehorende borden van sponsors nog even een check en vervolgens de Lund Fury1600 tiller op de Pega boat trailer van de stalling halen en vervolgens naar de Flanagans waar de prijsuitreikingen zullen plaats vinden.

The 1st Prize Lund boat with a Pega boat trailer.
Nu snel de wagen uitpakken en de zaal omtoveren naar een goede presentatie van alle prijzen en dat waren er weer behoorlijk wat! Toen alles gereed stond voelde ik de ontspanning en kwam ook alle vermoeidheid even boven pffff zware klus hoor al die weken van voorbereidingen en ook nog even de steward uithangen etc etc. Gelukkig bijgestaan door Rene van Vegten en uiteraard Frans Oomen en Frans Provo die op het water ook de boel in de gaten hielden en tevens de voorgaande artikelen schreven.

He wishes you all the best! T-Shirts, whiskey flask and a buff all with the Predator Tour Ireland logo on it for all participants, so each participant get 3 free very nice presents from him. Thank you so much Bruno, you will make many teams very happy, I am anyway

With special thanks to Pike Master Lures for the official predator caps for all participants and the great predator tournament shirt with a total value of 950 Euro. They were fighting for it

Predator Tour Ireland 2016 is done, I had a great week with you all and hope to see you all again.
