The Irish Kayak Angling Club are a welcoming, and very active bunch of individuals, promoting kayak fishing in fresh and saltwater. You can check them out on Facebook here and they will be more than willing to advise on getting started in kayak fishing.
The club also runs a season-long competition – the Irish Kayak Angling Championship – featuring a range of venues on lakes and open coastline, covering the length and breadth of the country. Camping and sharing the fun for a weekend, as well as fishing, sounds like a great time to us! The competition is generously sponsored by a number of sponsors, and the club would like to thank Navionics, Ursuit, Darrens Kayaks, RAILBLAZA SM GROUP Europe Ltd with a special thanks to Maureen in Palmerston Stores, Garry Kenny “who always goes out of her way to look after us and sponsors some prizes for the day in Portumna”.
The championship kicks off this weekend, the 13th May, with members camp[ing and fishing out of Portumna, on the River Shannon. Fishing for predators lie pike and perch, as well as coarse fish like bream, roach, rudd or tench, and the chance of a trout too.

We look forward to seeing how they get on, and anyone who is interested in taking part can probably still join the fun by getting in touch with the club here.
