Donegal Bay is fishing well with boats at Mullaghmore and elsewhere landing big blue sharks even when the conditions are less than ideal.
Shore anglers are also getting some good fishing. The early part of this week saw some glorious weather and as the temperatures soared the Killbegs Mariners made the angling version of hay while the sun shined.
Just 3 hours on the sand produced 18 dabs with 10 of them over 30cm as well as spotted rays, turbot, dogs and pollack.
On Tuesday evening some of the guys from the club were out again. By the time they were fishing the weather pages were reporting offshore lightening moving their way and they figured the pollack may be scarce.
So they ended up having a great session of wrasse on the soft plastics. Violent takes and arched over lure rods as the thunder rolled out the bay, hard to beat it!
At the other end of Donegal at Downings, skipper Michael McVeigh tells us that the charter boat fishing remains good – although the mackerel are still a bit patchy.
