Stefan Martin from Killybegs Mariners SAC reports on the fishing around Donegal Bay…

28 April: A beautiful sunset for the longest flattie competition last night and it’s well done to junior angler Katie McGettigan winning the competition with a lovely 37cm flounder winning the beach reel. Great angling well done!

Releasing a pair of rays #CPRsavesfish

29 April: Maiden voyage on the St Catherine and Donegal Bay was drenched in sunshine and gave some great sport catching and releasing some lovely fish. Sandeels are starting to show more now and the shoal fish are feeding well done lovely pollack and coley and whiting in full strings and the bigger fish to the lure rods and rubber eels. Some spotted rays on the sand and elusive Megrim notching up the species count. Nowhere like it.

Male cuckoo wrasse
The striking colours of the male cuckoo wrasse. Female cuckoo wrasse can form into males if there are no males present in the area. An amazing local species
