If you're heading up Inishowen direction then Culdaff and Ballyliffin beaches always throw up something.
It ain't easy but it sure is simple!

3 of us fished culdaff beach on the 5th march into the 6th. camped out on the beach and fished 2 rods each for 20 straight hours. the fishing was really grim. i caught the most and biggest fish. i had 8 small flounder under 20cm and 9 coalfish all under 25cm. mabey the big tides this weekend might bring more fish in and give you better luck than us man.

Hi Al we had a worse session up at Port Salon Beach with Foyle SAC last night, the winner on the night had 2 fish, with quite a few blanks :oops:

Is there any beaches, in the North of the Country that fish well this time of year?
