My best fishing location ever is not accessible anymore.

I haven't tried it, but you could try a location nearby. Zoom into Piers castle point piers.(Killubegs)

The large pier you see is private property used mostly by oil boats. But i'm sure you can make your way across fields to a point just beyond the pier.

There are no bait shops that I know of in Donegal.
