Tuna fishing is really warming up in Donegal Bay at the moment. Licensed Tuna CHART angling boat the Kiwi Girl had their best day of the season so far on Saturday, but that was beaten again on Sunday. 10 bluefin tuna were brought to the boat and tagged over the weekend.
As skipper Declan says “It was start to finish action with the fish up for it and (it has to be said ) a slick team running the gear, everything that was put out got trashed to bits , well done to Paddy and Alison taking 3 fish each, the skipper even got a go today!
