CANI Paddlefest 2010

Some photo's of last weekends action at the CANI Paddlefest 2010.

Hooked Live 27-28th Feb 2010

Over the weekend of 27th-28th of Feb Team I-Canoe put their days fishing experience in at the deep end, talking the talk and swimming like fish we did it!

The Event was the first Hooked event to be run at Citywest, Dublin. A new venue for a event of his nature with a large exhibition hall as well as beautiful golf course with lakes the organisers did a great job getting the best fisherman around to do demonstrations and presentations of their experiences and their skill.

Then their was us a bunch of more than able whitewater kayakers showing how great sit on top fishing could be!

And ..........

It was suprisingly successful!

Over the weekend we had a lot of interest of all the boats with demos out on the lake as well as stand we had pretty much a full line up including a fully kitted out Wilderness systems Commander

and probably a first for both Ireland and I-Canoe a Gigbob From NRS

The boats were looked at, sat in, commented on. by just about every person through the door. They provide a safe secure platform to reach secluded areas and are a fraction of the cost some were paying for lake boats.

with more and more people taking advantage of water activities it makes sense to buy something for every purpose weather its a toy for the beach with the kids that you simply add a rod holder to head out fishing or a out and out fishing boat you head out in using a kayak to fish from is environmentally a much better solution.

As well as showing off boats many of our suppliers have added a range of angling specific accessories to their 2010 line ups including

Rod holders and accessories for all boats

Including GigBob, Boundary Boots, Boundary Socks,

Including Nomad boots, and the SuperNova Angler Drysuit

For your chance to win this fantastic angling suit come and see us at CANI Paddlefest on the 12th-14th March

With all these products available fishing from a kayak goes from a wicked idea to reality in only a few minutes.
