The ever-busy CM Lakelands Feeder Club held an open feeder match on an out of sorts White Island on Lough Muckno last Sunday with sixteen anglers fishing. With the roach not about, this made fishing difficult, with most anglers catching small hybrids, the odd roach and Perch. Piotr Horbiński continued his fine Muckno form, winning the match with 3.570 kg of small hybrids and Roach. Robertas Zilaitis was 2nd overall with a similar bag to Piotr, weighing just under 3kg.

This report on the U25 Feeder World Championships in Spain form the National Coarse Fishing Federation of Ireland:The 2025 Under 25 World Feeder Championships were fished in Spain last Friday and Saturday with Team Ireland finishing in eighth place overall fishing a very unfamiliar venue. It may not be where they had hoped to finish, but as they headed for home there was a strong sense of pride, reflection and optimism within the camp.

This report from Cormac Walsh of The Lure Fishing Podcast…Paul Bracken has been visiting Wexford for many years now and is an accomplished angler in his own right. However, a decent bass has eluded him on the lures after many, many attempts. After a long wait, Paul finally had his day, and on our third venue, nearly 10 hours since he made his first cast, he hooked into this beauty.
