Report:Went to the beach at Dunfanaghy on our first day and seen the remains of the carnage caused by the "Red tide". Thousands of sea urchin "skulls", crab shells, razor shells etc... Must have wiped out all sea life on the beach! Anyway fished the beach that evening, nothing but a few small bites coming up to dark. Next morning Portnablagh harbour at dawn, some mackeral. Ran into Pat Robinson of "The Cricket" he says the bay is full of mackeral, with good pollock off the head. He recommended the channel at dunfanaghy for seatrout and flats. Tried it that evening on the flood tide, but no joy. Zilch! More mackeral at portnablagh and 1 sm pollock spinning. 1 sm wrasse at falcarragh.
Pretty crap few days, but the scenery and the craic made up for it.
