Sea Angling

 

Sea Angling Donegal bay has some of the best fishing in the country with a wide variety of species to be caught. Species caught during the 2006 season include Shark, Skate, Tope, Rays, Turbot, Conger, Ling, Cod, Pollack, Coley, Gurnards, John Dory, Plaice, Flounder, Dab, Megrim, Dog Fish and Wrasse well over thirty species in all.

Irish Deep-Sea Angling is associated with charter boats and is a very sociable form of angling. We fish for such species as Ling, Cod, Pollack, and Wrasse from the many reef, and for tope and flatfish over sandy broken ground. Charter boat fishing is lively and interesting even before a line is cast; the skipper will assemble a group of anglers who may or may not know each other at the beginning of the day, but who will surely be well acquainted by the end of it, especially if they have had sport with a good catch. Tackle can be hired, so all the angler needs is a good set of waterproofs and a sense of adventure

The remains of the village are on the south side of the island, as is the Cashel which contains pre Christian and early Christian antiquarian remains such as cursing stones, altars, beehive cells, etc. Undisturbed for many years it has a vast variety of fantastic plants and is home to many birds and wildlife.
