The Irish Federation of Sea Anglers held their Boat Fish-Offs last weekend to pick the team to represent Ireland at the World Boat Championships 2026 which will be held in Spain. Rathmullan, in County Donegal, was the host port and conditions were extremely difficult for the competitors.
After a tough couple of days, there was little to choose between the top five anglers. And so, joining Captain Jamie Murphy in Spain will be:
- Liam O’Callaghan
- Dave Jolly
- Sean Og McShane
- Dan Lynch
- Paddy Swan


Congratulations to the qualifying five and we’ll keep an eye on how they do in Spain.
