Welcome
IFPAC is committed to Pike Welfare, to ensure the pursuit of pike angling as a genuine sport for anglers of all ages and gender, and to enjoy the pursuit of a formidable and elusive fish.
By getting involved, we can aid you in creating a new club of any size and encourage all anglers to join their local pike club if there is one. If you need help in setting-up a new club, we can meet you to discuss any of your concerns or queries from beginning to end.
Competitions
IFPAC holds its qualifiers on a monthly basis on the 1st Sunday of each month, except bank holiday weekends (in this case it is held on the 2nd Sunday).
The new competition season starts on the 1st Sunday in May of each year, for example, this year the first qualifier is Sunday 8th May and ends in April 2023.
Key events:
Great-Britain vs Ireland:
We have been competing against Great-Britain on a yearly basis for the last three decades. This year, the event will be held in England. Note: there are suggestions afoot to involve other European Countries in the future.
Inter Club:
This key event as been very popular for decades. Your club can enter as many teams as it likes to compete against other clubs for this yearly event for the trophy and medals. Last year, the Competition Officer introduced a novel approach to attract extra clubs whereby the top 5 bags would qualify for the final. This initiative will continue into the future.

Donate
The main income stream for IFPAC is monthly competitions. This income provides for our yearly final, and more importantly the yearly International competition between Ireland and Great-Britain, which incurs the costs of travelling to England. It is imperative that we seek donations, even from members, to maintain and increase our main income stream for future International Competitions.
Forum
In the past we always had a message board/forum for our members for debate and getting in touch with other members. Private messaging was also allowed as an additional offering for our members to avail of. As chairman, I have taken onboard the requests and complaints of our members, that they miss the message board/forum for up-to-date information from the committee, and all other information that pertains to fishing.
