What anglers are saying about FishBase
FishBase helped us book a quiet lake just outside Galway for a weekend pike session. The venue was exactly as described and the local contact was brilliant with advice on depths and safe access points.
We booked a winter trip through FishBase and were really impressed by the safety focus. The team checked the ice, provided shelters and made sure we were comfortable. It felt like proper Nordic-style ice fishing right here in Ireland.
Great communication, clear venue rules and a really nice choice of waters. FishBase has become our go-to for booking lakes when the club wants a change of scenery or a private match in Ireland.
