You mean the place near Gortahork? I've been having long looks at there over the past year or so, and chatting to some locals. Deffo smells fishy to me!

I reckon the far elbow of the strand where it turns back into Ballyness Bay, or go very light and walk the entire length of the beach with a bass rod and a light weight rolling around past the surf, or opposite Inishboffin Island.

Baits of Sandeel, Mackeral or Lug should bring fish, including Flatties. I've heard rumours of an angler taking a couple of Anglerfish from the Island.

I'm not much of a shore angler (at all!) but that beach has always intrigued me for it's potential.
