bundoran and environs

#1 Post by corbyeire »

on saturday 13th im up this side - on a stag - but the rest are of the surfing fraternity

would i be wasting my time trying to fish the beach - as i recall it looks full of rock outcrops - hence the waves for the surfers

or should i just go down to rossknowlagh instead

any info and tactics greatly appreciated :D

Have never fished the beach at Bundoran but fishing the flat rocks which run along the road at he side of the golf course is an option. Relatively deep water with clean bottom. Added benefit is it overlooks the beach and you can lob 5oz leads at your mates in the water. Mixed bags with the possibility of anything turning up to bait on the bottom.
i get by with a little help from my friends.

:oops: jese your hard to please, recent fish have been all about the pound mark. Drop us a pm if your up and we might try and put you on some sort of fish. Us Donegal lads can specialise in teaching you Galway doggie bashers the finer arts of sea trout angling :wink: :P
