Today we have ran a club match on Yellow Island, Lough Muckno. The water levels were still very low for the time of year so we didn’t know what to expect with there being no matches on the section either for a while.
Things started of very slowly for most people but after the first hour things got going and it’s has fished very well.
Top weight on the day was Richard Wilk with a mega 19.750kg from 197 on the pole followed by Pavlo Dykun in 2nd place with 16.500kg from 199 on the feeder. Jim McAllister made up the top 3 with 15.600kg from 202 also on the feeder.
Well done lads!

Top 6 overall:
1st Richard Wilk 19.750kg
2nd Pavlo Dykun 16.500kg
3rd Jim McAllister 15.600kg
4th Johnny Mckinley 15.075kg
5th Leon Lunt 13.050kg
6th Paul Heaney 11.125kg

Section winners: Richard Wilk/Paul Heaney

We arrived back home last night after 10 days away in Prelog, Croatia at the World Feeder Clubs Championships.
The fishing was very tough and patchy to say the least with only the odd bonus fish caught in practice we sat our stalls out to catch bleak and small fish. We maybe needed one more day of practice on the bleak to sort the method out properly but each day in the match we had people with top 5 places in the sections but also some high points as they couldn’t get bleak into their pegs. Everyone in the team put in a shift all week from the anglers Jim McAllister, Philip Jackson, Philip Hartin, David Herron & Johnny Mckinley to the bank support and captains Kevin Maguire & Richard Wilk who never stopped all week everyone can be proud of their efforts.
It might not of been the result we wanted coming 24th from 36 teams but lessons have been learned moving forward.
It was still a great week away staying in top class accommodation and we had some laughs along the way.

Well done to the winners Drennan Barnsley Blacks who took the venue apart catching bleak each day, they set the benchmark all week and there was no one catching them 👏

We would also like to thank our Sponsors:
Marcel Van Den Eynde Ireland
Matrix
Smurfit Westrock
MRL Architects

And to everyone who supported us in our Facebook draws raising money as these trips away are not cheap to attend.

First day of the World Club Feeder Championships in Croatia. 🇭🇷
The venue has been very challenging all week but everyone has put in the effort and we’ve caught a few fish on a very tough venue.

29/07/2026

Just like to wish our boys over in Croatia for the World Feeder Clubs all the best of luck.
It all kicks off in earnest tomorrow although the boys have been there from last Friday, practising on what is proving to be a very difficult venue.
Good luck lads

Yesterday was the last round of the Blackwater Summer League on the Argory. The fishing this year hasn’t been great compared to previous years but there was some decent weights yesterday to finish the league.
Top weight on the day was Nick Seedon Mr Wonder Yellow who had 20.175kg of skimmers to win the section and the match well done Nick great fishing!
In second place was Johnny Mckinley with 13.925kg and in third place was Johnny Keith with 11.175kg.
Section winners Johnny Keith/Nick Seedon

Overall there were 6 anglers in the mix yesterday to finish the league in the top 4 places with very tight points between them.
The trophy and money were paid out after the match as usual.

Nick Seedon contacted me last night before I posted the results that he should have had one more point than what was recorded from the first match and he should have had 7 points not 6 points. After looking back at the weigh sheet he was correct and I can only apologise to Nick and to everyone else fishing yesterday sometimes mistakes can happen.

League Final Placings
1st Johnny Mckinley 6pts (by weight)
2nd Darren Cloran 6pts
3rd Nick Seedon 7pts (by weight)
4th Philip Jackson 7pts

Final league table is attached.
