The 23rd FIPS -Mer World Boat Championships for U21 anglers will commence this weekend, as anglers from Ireland, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Spain and Germany take to the high seas out of Rathmullan, Co. Donegal, in search of the gold medal.
The first training day is today, Thursday 22nd August, though it looks like strong winds will keep the competitors within the reserve area today (and possibly for the next few days).
Inland Fisheries Ireland are proud to sponsor the event, and we would like to wish good luck to all of the competitors (and very good luck to the Irish teams taking part).
The event officially runs from August 24th to 31st and we will keep an eye on how things are progressing over the course of the week.
