about us
Angling Services Ireland was founded in 2001 by owner and head guide Bodo Funke.
After having moved to his dream country Ireland from Germany in 1999, it was his vision to start an angling tourism business, where he could turn his passion into a profession.
After the initial fleet of boats was installed our current State of the Art guiding boat was added in 2011 and in 2017, together with my wife Tina, we started our own B&B in order to be able to offer comfortable accommodation and delicious breakfasts to our angling guests ourselves.
The business has evolved a lot since its inception and today, we pride ourselves in knowing what our angling guests want and we are happy to offer it. At the same time, we will always strive to further develop and improve our services.
Bodo (Pictured left) is a Marine & Countryside Certificate qualified Guide, he has over 20 years of experience, guiding anglers from all over the world.
He is a member of the Humminbird/ Minnkota UK & Ireland Pro Staff team.
He has fished in many parts of Europe and has competed in some major fishing events and he has built up a wealth of knowledge and experience over many years of fishing and guiding.

Pike fishing with Bodo was just plain terrific!
bobMeasternMass wrote a review Nov 2019: When it comes to guiding for Pike fishing, Bodo Funke is truly outstanding. Our group spent a week in 2018, and another week in 2019, fishing for pike and perch near Boyle Ireland. Everyday Bodo gave a 110% effort to make sure we had a safe, productive, and enjoyable pike fishing trip – and we are a difficult group to impress. We set high expectations for our guides on our fishing trips, and Bodo has exceeded our expectations on every trip. We stayed at the Funke family B&B, managed by Bodo and his wife Tina, and I have to say it is the cleanest and best organized B&B I have ever visited. I give Angling Services Ireland and A+ rating for all aspects of a great guiding services and B&B.Book a fishing tour/holiday now
