Michael McVeigh of the charter boat Rosguill in Downings, Co. Donegal reports on the start to his fishing season…
05 June: Mackerel are playing “silly buggers” same as this past 4 years – they should be fairly plentiful at start June, but not so – they are scarce. Our old friends from way back 13 years ago have returned from vacation (or perhaps they were in jail) – lots of Octopii turning up. Tory Pollack are off to a reasonable start, which is more than can be said of the Flatfish at Tory – Dabs plentiful, but our real targets of Turbot , Brill & Plaice are “missing in action” – actually missing in inaction! Wrecks fishing as normal for early season – billions of Coalfish but decent Pollack & Ling if you can get to fish for them. Limeburner is fishing OK for Gurnards, Whiting & the usual suspects – reports of good numbers of Haddock.
07 June: Had a good day on the Wrecks with some nice Ling and a couple of bonus Cod. Limeburner fishing well for Haddock, Whiting, Gurnards, etc.
