Sea angling which consists of boat-fishing & onshore angling is an enjoyable sport enjoyed all round the coastline of Ireland . The governing body of the sport in Ireland is IFSA ( The Irish Federation of Sea Anglers ) . In the Connaught region the Connaught Provincial Council control & run the activity . You can visit their official website at http://www.connaughtseaanglers.com/ where you will find information about competitions as well as useful links if you intend to partake in the activity anywhere in the Connaught region .

Because of the mild all year round climate on Ireland's west coast sea angling is an activity which can be enjoyed almost all year round . There are numerous suitable beaches along Connaught's coastline & a number of different sea angling clubs most of which are affilliated to IFSA ( The irish federation of Sea Anglers ) . More information is available about the various clubs located throughout the province on the "Contacts" page of the Connaught Provincial Council's website or by googling the term Connaght Sea Anglers .

As Ireland is of course an island - Sea angling is an activity you can do in any of the coastal counties . Each region has it's own governing body where you can get more information on what's available . In the north west region your best source of information would be the website of the North Western Fisheries Board at http://www.northwestfisheries.ie . Further North in Northern Ireland which has some spectacular beaches you can find out all you need to know by visiting the "Sea Fishing Northern Ireland" website at http://www.seafishingni.co.uk/ . For info on the activity in any of the leinster counties your best port of call ( forgive the pun ) would be the website of the Leinster Council - http://www.ifsaleinster.com/ & finally to complete your tour around the coast of Ireland you will need to visit Munster . For the best information on sea angling in Munster you should check the contacts page for munster on the official IFSA site as Munster do not yet appear to have their own website - http://www.ifsa.ie/provinces/munster/provincial_council.php
