Hi Matt,
I'm based on the other side of the lough in Buncrana. You'll be very close to some great tope fishing just 2 miles south from the pier at Rathmullan. There is an area known as Drum Gully which is just a few hundred yards off the west side of Inch Island. Anchoring there in around 30 foot of water produced tope for me last week. I've had thornback ray here before as well.
I used to own a longliner too and it definitely is a bit of a trek to the mouth of the Swilly but worthwhile if the weather holds out. There are plenty rock marks to the east of the lough between Dunree and Urris which is much more accessible than heading for Fanad Head or Dunaff. There is a decent pier at Dunree with a coffee shop above if you fancy a stop off.
Closer to Rathmullan at Macamish there is a Martello tower with some mixed ground just off the headland there which would be woth a go.
Hope the trip goes well.
Tight lines
Jason
