Lough Swilly - Sunday, 25th July.
Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2004 1:12 pm
Wet, cloudy, not too warm .................... just another summers day in Donegal!!!!
Fished a Lough Swilly league trip out of Rathmullan on the Enterprise. Had a couple of drifts on the reef at Swilly Rock, then four or five drifts near Fanad Light, then spent a couple of hours on the sand.
Plenty of Ballan Wrasse and a few coalies and surprisingly (disappointingly) few Pollock.
On the sand we got the usual suspects - Red Gurnard, loads of dogs, loads of Whiting but unfortunately most undersize, a nice Haddock, a couple of small Cod and a single Dab and Grey Gurnard.
The fishing should have been better for this time of year. Also, there were a helluva lot of juvenile fish. Not a great days fishing.
