north sligo, donegal bay, sunday/monday???

#1 Post by thompo »

hello

hopefully heading out on sunday or monday.

originally had thought of trying up round the swilly for some ray but could still be a bit on the early side

but are there any larger species available (huss, rays, spurs, smoothies, congers etc) this time of year in the donegal bay/sligo area maybe from killybegs down as far as strandhill?

Cheers for any info
species so far 2007 (18....)
Conger, Codling, Coalfish, Shore Rockling, Dab, Flounder, Dogfish, 3 beard rocking, Pollack, Whiting, Pouting, Red cod, Poor Cod, Tadpole fish, Short and Long splined sea sculpin, TopKnot, Cukcoo Ray,

Targets: fish over 10lb, eel over 20lb (came VERY close almost :( )

You won't get spurs or smotthies around Sligo anyway. If you were prepared to venture further than Strandhill you can get conger at Aughris or Easky. Haven't tried for them yet this year so i don't know if there is any about. I'm currently trying to find somewhere around Sligo/ Donegal to catch ray so if you have any luck let me know.

Where abouts at Easky would you recommend for conger Shane? Just off the wee pier behind the castle? I'll be down there again later this summer.
