Hi, I'm probably heading to Carrickfinn in Donegal in the next few weeks. Its by the airport

in Donegal. Burtonport is also a consideration and less so Cruit.

Does anybody have any info at all on this area? Would really appreciate as much or as little info as possable. Transprt would be on my mountain bike/foot so looking for marks close by. Does anywhere on the beach fish well, wrasse, pollock spots close by?

Usually head to a different place in Donegal which is my highlight of the angling year so disapointed we're not heading back here. Had sussed out the area pretty well over the years finding places suitable for different wind directions, various species, techniques etc

Have to start from scratch now and it looks as if the type of fishing is limited. So, any help would be really welcome.

Sorry col i cant help you much but i do know that there have some good catches in that area. All around that coast is a kind of Wounder land (u just never Know whats going to come up) I have heard of good reports from there but i don't know where abouts. I will put out the feelers and see what comes back.

Where abouts did you base yourself before

By the way the scenery up there is Fabulous have a good Holiday

Cheers Danny
