killybegs shore fishing

#1 Post by micko76 »

Just booked a couple of days in Killybegs round st paddy's day and want to bring my gear with me. Does anyone know what Killybegs is like? Where are the best marks? Best bait etc. Apologies if Killybegs has been mentioned earlier in the forum, but I could find nothing on it. Thanks
