Results:starfish, 4shore rockling, 2 flounder, whiting, dogfish,crab




Report: Mick thought he saw a break in the east wind so we made a last minute dash for the nearest bit of coast we could find and as you can see it started and finished quite poor but thankfully a few fish did appear between the starfish and crab, even if they were on the small side, nothing over 24cm ther than the dogfish, which was actually quite welcome as we had forgotten what a solid bite actually looked like on the rod tip.
When o when is the fishing going to improve

Fair play for gettin a few fish. I was out last night and had a shed load of coalies but they were all small. Just that time of year i think. I wouldn't have minded a doggie myself to give us a break from the tiddlers. Hopefully things will start picking up soon.

the fishing been very bleak in donegal so far, but it should pick soon.....i hope,
but fair play lcl/mick for getting out there and giving it a throw, and getting some results

I was up donegal direction myself over the weekend and squeezed in a couple of sessions at Portsalon pier and Rathmullan pier, not one single bite on both occassions??...very dissapointing

at this time of year we're just glad not to blank when we go out man. so fair do's for getting a few it's tight enough at the minute
