Buncrana Pier fishes poorly in general to be honest, if you really scale things down, you can pick up small dabs on size 8s or similar. Doggies are available too. Unfortunately, thats about it apart from mackerel in summer. Bound to throwup the odd surprise on occasion.

Havent fished it in a couple of years mind you but that dredging work they carried out round there didnt help too much.
