Hi Will,

I'm pretty sure it is on from the 14th - 19th September. A couple of weeks earlier than usual.

The guy who runs it is called Nick Haward. I will PM you on his e-mail address.

I fished it last year for the first time and must admit it was a great week, very enjoyable and highly recommended. There are 3 matches, one on the Sunday,Tuesday and Thursday. Venues are usually Ventry, Cappaclough, Inch, Brandon, Rossbeigh and a new venue for next year will be Banna strand. yourself and your partner fish different venues on each day. I think there usually is about 150 -160 anglers. They are upping it this year by a few about 5 pairs. The days in between are spent scouring around Kerry trying to get the biggest specimen of a selection of species. Entry fee is £170 per pair.

Places go fast, I got my documentation about 2 months ago. Better start making you Ventry rigs!!

i know that this might seem a stupid question but here it goes have you got to be a pair or can you fish as an individual :oops: and also have you got to fish all the matches the reason i ask this is because there are 3 of us coming over at the same time as the pairs and wouldn,t mind fishing the odd match as we fish quite a few at home sorry if this sounds stupid to a lot of people
