We have a couple of reports of good charter boat fishing in the Donegal area this week:
The guys from Killybegs Fishing Trips report write:
“Great fun out chasing a few species today and yesterday. Great run of cod showing today, and 13 different species today, which included pollock, coalie, pouting, ling, cuckoo wrass, ballan wrass, goldsinney wrass, poor cod, whiting, grey gurnard, dragonet, cod, dab”.

While up in Burtonport, North West Charters write:
The north wind had a bite, a sharp reminder that May in these waters doesn’t always mean warmth. But beneath that restless, grey chop, the sea was alive. Silver flashes of mackerel tore through the swell, running alongside heavy-shouldered pollock and deep-hued coley. Even the stubborn, painted wrasse were out in force. The salt spray stung, and the cold seeped into bones, but the hauls were heavy enough to make a man forget the shiver. By the time the boats turned for home, the crates were overflowing—once again, the ocean had paid its debts in full. How about we lean into the atmosphere of the harbor next, or should we focus on the hectic energy of the catch?
