Stefan Martin reports from the coast of Donegal…
26 November: A lovely evening on the rocks yesterday evening and a stunning display right in close of the Bluefin tuna feeding on the bait ball within casting distance from the shore was a sight to behold. Great to see them still about…
With the dropping temperatures now the fish species that we would be catching are turning to more winter species. Some lovely whiting to 32cm along with codling, dabs, pouting and congers; there is never a dull moment on the bay.
