Hi All
I am returning to my old (many many moons ago) hobby now with two boys in toe.
I was wanting to kick off with a bit of shore angling and pier fishing around the Inishowen area of Donegal.
Anyone with any advice about where to go and what types of bait/lures and any success out there would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Liam

Liam it's fairly quiet here at the moment,a few flats will be caught from Culdaff beach
There are loads of ray in the swilly with the channel from the marina at fawn fishing well
I dont know what age the young guys are but a bit of species hunting down pier walls should work

Cathal,
Thanks for responding.
What types of rigs are catching the rays in the swilly?
Would the 3 hook flappers be the way to go along Culdaff?
Any mackerel around the pier yet or is it a wee bit early for them?
