47th Cobh International Deep Sea Angling Festival


Its now less than 2 months to this year's Festival and we are now taking entries for this year's event. Brochures and Application Forms can be downloaded here.

We've retained the prize fund for this competition at €7,500. Of this €2,000 will be in cash, the breakdown of the cash element is as follows:

1st Prize €1000
2nd Prize €400
3rd Prize €200
Best Team of 4 €400

However, there are numerous other prizes. Each day is a competition in its own right and there are prizes for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.,.... plus heaviest fish. For the whole week there are also category winners like heaviest conger, heaviest cod, ling, pollack, most species, most fish....the list goes on and on.

The competition will be run over four days from the 3rd to 7th September 2012 (Mon, Tues, Thurs, & Fri). This Festival is great craic and if you want a week away with your buddies with great craic and good fishing well this is the fishing break for you. Many of the anglers are coming back to this event year after year, after year!!!

This report from last year (2012 Report) will give you an idea of the quality of fishing (and craic) to be had over the week.

  1. Four days of fun, frolic and excitement it will be for sure. I always wanted to be a part of such an event/competition. Where you get to do what you love doing the most: fishing! Besides, you also get to meet and interact with many people, who like you, are in love with deep sea fishing.

    Networking, you see.

    Events such as deep sea fishing charters bring people from various places under one roof for few days. And at the end of the competition, there is of course one winner. But there are lots of fond memories that you take home with you.
