Jimmy Smith - All Ireland Open 2015 - 7th March

Kilmuckridge / Courtown SAC's host Jimmy Smith / Maurice Dalton. ALL IRELAND SHORE CHAMPIONSHIPS.March 7 th Fishing Ballinesker. 4 to 9 pm. Check-in Hotel Curracloe 12-30 to 2-30. Entry € 20 + ( €5 optional pool). 100% Payout. 4 Zones ( Max 25 Anglers per Zone )Pools will be for 1st and 2nd longest round and flat. All Baits allowed. Juniors Free ( Pool Optional ). Entries by phone or text by Thursday 5 th March to Jimmy Doyle or Joe Byrne.

I'm a bit confused by this Corbyeire. How can there be a maximum of 25 anglers per zone? The All Ireland is an open so why is there restricted entry? I know opens these days aren't producing anything like the numbers of the 90's but it's not beyond the realms of possibility that there could be more than 100 entries.

Get in touch with Jimmy or Joe - fair point but i havent a clue

There is no restrictions in the entries the max 25 per zone might be throwing you off focus

Say an entry of 120 anglers, with the maximum of anglers per zone not to be greater than 25 anglers it could be pegged as i.e. 6 zone of 20, 10 zones of 12 or 5 zones of 24 but could not be pegged 4 zones of 30
as the max number per zone is 25

Hope this makes sense

Thanks for that lads. I thought it was restricted to 100 guys. My mistake.

hotel is booked so I might have a pure orange or 2

can anyone enter or do you need to be a member of a club?

Need to be a member of an IFSA club or pay €20 (i think) for a festival pass which covers you for the duration of the competition

thanks i am not a member of a club but would like to give this a go i have no problem paying the 20 euro plus pool money so if someone can confirm that i can pay on the day it would be most helpful
thanks Alan

It would be 20 euro plus your 20 entry if they are accepting non ifsa members, Lots of clubs looking for new members out there.

Is there anyone from the northside that has room for 1 down to this comp

Entry paid for the petrol funds plus whatever bait i can spare

Good luck to all fishing the Jimmy Smith/Maurice Dalton on sat. I myself have to withdraw as I am suffering badly from 'ebolamanflu pneumonia virus.

I was just talking to Joe Byrne. There will be a large attendance and Wexford County Council will be enforcing the beach by-laws.

No vehicles on the beaches

How large is large?
Got sorted with transport down and really looking forward to it

Anyone else noticed that the rag in dublin bay are still green
Tried 2 locations and same result

Baits i have so far

Lug(Fresh and wrap) Sandeel ,Mack, Squid, Razor, Crab ,Mussel

Just a trip for maddies rag and whites (if i can get them)

The very best of luck to all fishing and a very special mention to all the Juniors.The Maurice Dalton should not be forgotten and the young lads/lassies are the future of our sport.

150+ I think!

150+ I think!

Ragworm are still spawning at this time of year. They should never be dug before the beginning of April but try telling that to anglers/baitdiggers and you're likely to get impaled by a well rusted fork!! It's my personal opinion that with the slightly warmer temperatures we're getting, that the spawning season is lengthening/changing with the result that rag aren't in diggable condition until later in the season.

150 that is a seriosly impressive number - hope there is good fishing
