Tope fishing in donegal from the shore?

#1 Post by Jordan NI »

I have heard off some tope being taken up in donegal but they have been lost because the people who have hooked them have been fishing for rays. My dad lost one because his tope rolled up the rig and snapped 70lb line.
So is there a place from the shore where u can catch them ofte

I've heard of Mountcharles as a tope venue alright. I would imagine there's opportunities in Lough Swilly too.
