International Predator Manager Announcement
After a fantasic ten years representing lure angling in Ireland International Team Manager, Tomi Kurman steps down.
At a committee meeting of 16th of April, the Executive regrettably accepted the decision by Tomi to retire from the position of Team Ireland Manager and to leave the committee. The NCFFI Executive, on behalf of its members and all those who have represented #Teamireland thank Tomi for his commitment to lure angling sport and wish him well for the future.
Tomi Kurman says:- . .
First on the scene in 2013, Tomi and his angling partner took third position and the bronze medal at the first Lure Angling World Championships hosted in Ireland. Since then, he has fielded teams in both the shore and boat disciplines all around the world and brought a further three world championships to our shores. When he is not on the water successfully guiding visiting anglers to realise their best catches on Lough Corrib, he finds the time to be part of one of the best lure angling duos on the island. Tomi and Jacek Gorny compete on the competition circuit as much as they can with numerous wins under their belt.
Jack Tisdall:- . ’ . .
Whilst Tomi will manage the 2024 team and remains part of organising committee for the World Championships Boat Angling with Lures to be hosted in Ireland this October, he is keen that preparations are in put in place for the team of 2025. We are therefore seeking expressions of interest from experienced anglers to lead our lure angling teams to the world stage in 2025 and beyond.
The NCFFI are looking for a motivated enthusiastic Manager to take on this voluntary role for the next three-year term. The ideal candidate will have experience of lure fishing and a strong sense of ethics and fair play. They will be required to plan and deliver three weekends of qualifiers annually, selecting and leading teams to the FIPSed World Boat Angling Championships. The successful applicant with expert predator knowledge will adopt all protocols and assume a position on the NCFFI Committee meeting monthly. Those interested may express their interest here
