Donabate Beach?

#1 Post by Wes »

Lads,

Donabate beach....anybody fished it? Any reports?
This is the beach past and to the right of the Waterside Hotel (formerly: Dunes Hotel). Its a very clean beach, but seems a bit on the shallow side.
Kieran has a Shore Mark down for Donabate, but I think its Portrane its refering to.

cheers
Wes

Do a search on here, I think there was a thread before about the beach where a young lad caught a 4lbs turbot on his first time fishing.
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!
