The tuna fishing season continues to produce some great sport for anglers, despite inclement weather. Donegal Bay is full of life at the moment, with baitfish, birds, dolphins, whales and tuna all providing a great spectacle. Killybegs Fishing Trips report more tuna caught earlier this week. On Monday Pauric Gavigan enjoyed a quick start, with the first hookup within 5 minutes, the quickest the boat has ever had! The fish estimated at 280lbs was brought to the boat, tagged and released again. Hopes were high after that but alas, despite fish showing well it was a frustrating rest of the day with no more hookups. Such is fishing!

The following day was much more successful, with a small group of returning clients. Skipper Keith says “We had a slow start but after a couple of hours things got a little busy, with 4 hook ups. We got 3 to the boat, but the first one managed to get away at the side of the boat before the measurements and photographs, the next one spat the hook only meters from the boat but we successfully got the next two fish tagged and released. Still great signs of plenty of fish about”
