Trawlers in Donegal Bay

#1 Post by alancooper »

Last week-end a large, ocean-going trawler was cruising up and down south Donegal bay shore between Bundoran and Rossknowlagh. It seemed fairly close in (calm conditions). Has anybody got an idea what sort of fish they might have been after?

Yes, green and white - that was it. Nice to know it was not one of the Killybegs boats hoovering up what is left in the bay. Is there anywhere I can find out about the work the marine inst do?
