Re: Fintragh Strand, Donegal
I like this mark, good flounder in winter time, summer time would be good for ray fishing. I am going fishing on Sunday, however little bit further up there is another mark for the flounder and turbot, last time I was there fishing was quite good some nice turbot turned up. Anyway have a good session as it is a good spot
