41 Seniors and 2 juniors fished the Henrystackleshop.com Irish Smooth Hound Championships last Saturday. The venue was Ballinoulart Beach in North Wexford.
Weed made things a bit difficult but it was an enjoyable evening.

Congratulations to Michael Christian, who won the 2025 HENRYSTACKLESHOP.COM ALL-IRELAND HOUND CHAMPIONSHIP with a Smooth Hound of 95 cm.
