Tope in Donegal bay?

#1 Post by Samsjeep »

Hi everyone, I'm new to the site, I live on the south side of the bay and now have a good fast boat to do some serious fishing this summer. A few years ago I fished the head for pollock and caught well fish to 8Ib, also had a a small ling and even 1 codling! I would like to have a go with the tope now, any info on where to go in the bay would be usefull.

Thanks in advance.. :)

Little bit out of my area there :D
We do not seem to have many guys fishing that area. I'd say check out the local charter skippers for info.
