Write lads i fish donegal as often as i can , what i want to know is why theres rarely any reports about it?

Also is it me or does donegal seem to be a no go in the winter? just wondering because any reports i have seen for winter in donegal just seem to be crap to say the least! :?

Is there anywhere thats worth a chuck up there at this time of the year and what can i expect to catch?

most of the guys who fish in donegal do so from boats mate ,its only recently that more shore angling is takeing place.teelin is always worth a chuck this time of year and there are several more venues worth a go aswell.cheers john

yes i agree with hairy, wats happening round malin head, etc etc, as for people fishing in boats, i dont think they would go out at this time of year as the sea is to rough. :!:

Id be interested to hear of any marks around malin area from either the lough swilly side or the the open sea areas. Was up a few times over the summer had a few decent fish

Beachcaster mentioned that shore angling is new to Donegal.....I've been shore fishing Donegal for 16 years John :lol: All the marks are still fishing, more so once it gets dark. Problem with a lot of the rock marks at this time of the year is the bloody weather, south wests and wests are a pig for a lot of Donegal marks so recently its been a case of waiting for a week or more for a lull so that i can get out.
