World Carp Classic at Lac De Madine, France

[etangdebrigueuil]

We were joined in April this year by Dan O'Kelly from Ireland as our new bailiff and we were thrilled for him when a mate asked him to join his team to fish the World Carp Classic this year, the first team to ever represent Ireland in this competition. Sponsored by Gardner Tackle and Heathrow Baits they had only the draw to worry about. They ended up with a swim in the section sponsored by Pescalis on one of the islands and they were a bit disappointed as they thought the pegs were a bit too close together. But we are so pleased for them as they are winning at the moment with only 3 more nights left to fish. The leaderboard is posted on www.theonlinekeepsack.com although it isn't very accurate as they are listed as having caught a 57lb fish and sadly thats not true. Their biggest is 19.5kg and they have landed 4, their nearest rivals have landed 2, with a total weight bagged of 57kgs. So we wish them all the best, here's hoping they bring that cup home to Ireland.

The boys are being pipped at the post at the moment by an English team, who had a whopping 50lb er last night to take the lead with 6 fish. A bit of politics going on also, but with a £10k prize fund thats no surprise. May the best team win.
