Report:

Had a couple of hrs 2kill last nite so i decided to get a heads up on Buncranna area (1mile from fahan)

Weather was crap and i forgot to bring my lantern so a good start.

fished flaper rig in close and Pulley rig out as far as i could
Tried Mack & eel on both rigs at different times but no good except Crabs on both (all i seem 2 be catching lately)
Lads you have nothing to fear in me if i get 2 fish in 2wks time

Buncrana Pier fishes poorly in general to be honest, if you really scale things down, you can pick up small dabs on size 8s or similar. Doggies are available too. Unfortunately, thats about it apart from mackerel in summer. Bound to throwup the odd surprise on occasion.

Hi Pete

I have fished the pier a few times b4 mostly in summer tho and had good results Thornback. Flats .Dogs small Pollock. I was hoping to pick up something christ ANYTHING as the fishing at Lenan & culdaff arnt to bad at the mo

Havent fished it in a couple of years mind you but that dredging work they carried out round there didnt help too much.
