Welcome to the website of Fish the Wild Atlantic. We offer guided fishing trips along the Wild Atlantic Way coastline from its most northern point in County Donegal, through County Leitrim and Sligo as far as Lahinch in County Clare. Our main centre of operations, however, is County Mayo. The fishing takes place from the shore so there's no need to worry about rough weather or sea-sickness. Fish the Wild Atlantic will provide all your fishing equipment, transport from wherever you are staying and all the help you need with the actual fishing.

We will take you to remote hill lochs, unspoiled beaches and little known rock marks, places where you rarely meet another person, never mind another fisherman.

All levels are catered for, from beginners, game fishermen who want to learn how to plug for bass, to experts who simply need local knowledge.

We can teach you how to cast with a spinning rod (easy) or how to use a fly rod (more difficult).

We can even point you in the right direction for the best pubs, music and restaurants to celebrate your catch and share your fishy stories.

About The Fishing

We specialise in Lure fishing along the Wild Atlantic Way but we can cater for bait fishermen as well. We offer both salt and freshwater fishing……

From the stunning coastline and mountainous views to excellent fishing and seal watching, you may even see a dolphin or 3! TripAdvisor user Rachel W

A great day out with Darryl. Personable, engaging friendliness from the very knowledgeable skipper. Great encouragement and advice for the young novice fishermen aboard and he certainly found the fish! Periods of frantic reeling-in, interspersed with wonderful scenery and lovely sunshine. More fish than we could carry, even after releasing a high proportion. Danny M, Trip Advisor User

Was in Sligo on a stag weekend and we booked up this trip as something different to do. Turned out to be the best part of the stag weekend TripAdvisor user Fergus H

A GUIDE TO SEA FISHING IN DONEGAL?

Planning your trip to donegal for sea fishing.

To plan your sea fishing trip to Donegal successfully, you need to choose the right time of year, locate the best fishing spots and pick the right accommodations. Considering these sub-sections as a solution will help you make the most of your trip and improve your chances of catching the biggest fish.

Choosing the Right Time of Year

When planning a sea fishing trip to Donegal, choosing the right time of year is crucial. Between April and October , the waters are warmer and the fish more active. However, if you’re looking for specific species like salmon or trout, then it’s best to go during their respective seasons.

The autumn months are considered ideal for catching large fish such as cod and haddock in the deeper waters offshore. Meanwhile, summer is perfect for shore fishing when warm waters bring schools of mackerels and pollacks closer to the shore. It’s always a good idea to check online resources or consult with local fishermen or charter operators before finalizing your plans.

It might surprise you that Donegal is also an excellent spot for shark fishing. In fact, there have been reports of anglers catching great white sharks off its coast in recent years !

Source: https://www.donegalcottageholidays.com/sea-fishing-in-donegal/

Don’t worry about finding the best fishing spots in Donegal, just follow the trail of empty beer cans and fishermen cursing their luck .

Locating the Best Fishing Spots

Fishing in Donegal is a perfect way to rest and unwind, but finding the best fishing spots can be a daunting task. Here are some useful tips for locating these optimal locations:

Look for areas with changing water depth, such as where a river meets the ocean.
Investigate online forums devoted to sea fishing in Donegal, which offer useful insider information.
Ask local fishermen or tackle shops employees who would likely know where the fish are currently biting.
Check tide charts and target areas that have more fish activity during high tides.
Consider hiring a professional guide with local expertise of the area.

Additionally, keep in mind that different types of fish prefer different habitats and seasons, so researching these differences can increase your chances of catching something notable.

Pro Tip: Pack essential fishing gear , sunscreen, and snacks before setting off on your adventure to make it an unforgettable experience.

Don’t let your accommodations be the one that got away – choose wisely for a reel-y good stay.

Picking the Right Accommodations

When planning a sea fishing trip to Donegal, choosing the right accommodations is vital for a comfortable and convenient stay. Here are five points to consider when picking the right place to stay:

Location – Consider accommodations that are close to the fishing areas or near places where you can easily rent fishing equipment.
Amenities – Look for places that offer amenities such as free Wi-Fi, parking facilities, room service, and laundry services.
Budget – Choose a place of accommodation that’s within your budget range. Don’t overspend on your accommodation so you can save more money for other expenses during your trip.
Room size – Make sure you choose an accommodation with enough space for all members of your group. Also, check if they offer different types of rooms such as single rooms, double rooms or family suites.
Customer reviews – Read customer reviews before making a decision. Through their feedback, you can learn a lot about the services provided by the accommodation facility.

Another factor to consider is the type of atmosphere you want in your accommodation; whether it’s something quiet and secluded or lively and entertaining with music and events.

Pro Tip : Make sure to book your accommodations well in advance to avoid any inconvenience on your trip.

Fishing without proper gear is like trying to catch a cold without a winter coat.

Essential Gear and Equipment for Sea Fishing

To ensure you have the necessary gear and equipment for successful sea fishing in Donegal, this section on Essential Gear and Equipment for Sea Fishing with Fishing Rods and Reels, Fishing Line and Leader Materials, Hooks, Sinkers, and Lures will be your solution. Read on to discover the importance of each piece of equipment and how it can improve your experience of sea fishing.

Fishing Rods and Reels

Here is a table showcasing different rod types, techniques, and fish species:

It’s important to note that each rod and reel has a unique power, action, line strength, and other features that can affect one’s fishing experience. For example, a lighter rod with a fast action is better suited for casting light lures while a heavier rod with a slow action is ideal for bottom fishing.

As technology continues to evolve rapidly, new materials such as graphite and fiberglass have replaced traditional wood and bamboo components. Additionally, automated reels with advanced drag systems ensure more reliable hook sets and retrieval.

Interestingly, sea fishing tackles have come a long way since the early days when lines were made from horsehair or silk. Modern gear makes fishing more comfortable than ever before while providing anglers with higher chances of catching big fish.

Fish don’t stand a chance against me and my fishing line, unless they learn how to tie knots.

Fishing Line and Leader Materials

Fishing Line And Leader Materials has evolved over time to meet the current demands of anglers and increase efficiency in fishing activities. Nylon monofilament was first discovered by Dr Robert Nelson in 1935 while he was trying to create a new insulation material for wires used during World War II. He later found out that it had potential as a fishing line material after testing it due to its strength and affordability.

With the right hooks, sinkers, and lures, you’ll be reeling in more fish than a politician at a fundraiser.

Hooks, Sinkers, and Lures

When it comes to sea fishing, having the correct gear and equipment is crucial to ensure a successful trip. This includes hooks, sinkers, and lures.

Hooks: The right hook size and style vary depending on the type of fish you’re targeting. You’ll need to consider factors such as the bait you’re using, the water conditions, and the fish’s mouth size.
Sinkers: These weights help your line sink deeper into the water and keep your bait in place. The amount of weight you need will depend on factors such as the depth of the water and current strength.
Lures: There are many types of lures available, including soft plastics, hard baits, jigs, spinners, and more. Choosing the right lure depends on factors such as the species of fish you want to catch and the water conditions.
Line: The type of fishing line you use will depend on factors such as the size of fish you’re targeting and your fishing technique. Consider factors such as strength, stretchability, and visibility when choosing a line type.

It’s important to note that these items come in varying sizes and styles – so be sure to choose equipment suitable for your needs.

To reduce frustration when changing your rig style or setup often (especially while trolling), it’s useful to have pre-tied rigs ready with different hooks/lure combinations handy.

I recall one time while deep sea fishing off Bournemouth Pier where an experienced angler on our boat caught a massive Cod! Everyone was stunned – We asked him what lure he was using but he wouldn’t say until he rightfully weighed his catch!

Remember, if at first you don’t succeed in catching fish in Donegal, just keep calm and carry on fishing, or else you’ll just end up a fish out of water.

Techniques and Tips for Successful Sea Fishing in Donegal

To master the art of sea fishing in Donegal, harness the power of effective techniques and tips. With proper bait and presentation tips, you can lure the right catch with ease. Moreover, understanding how tides, currents, and weather impact fish behaviour will give you an edge. Lastly, learn the importance of proper fish handling and care to maintain the integrity of the species and the ocean ecosystem.

Bait and Presentation Tips

Successful sea fishing in Donegal requires careful consideration of bait and presentation techniques. The right combination can dramatically increase your chances of catching your desired fish.

It’s important to match the size and type of bait to the species you are targeting . Soft baits such as squid or mackerel strips work well for many types of fish. Make sure to keep your bait fresh by storing it in a clean and cool environment.
Pay attention to the presentation of your bait . Use lighter leads or hooks for a more natural appearance in the water. Try different rigging techniques to see what works best for the species you’re after.
Consider the timing and location for fishing. Different fish species prefer specific areas or times of day for feeding, so research beforehand to increase your chances.

Finally, experiment with different lures and colours until you find what works best. Don’t be afraid to try something unconventional – sometimes this can be the key to success.

In addition, always check local regulations and obtain a valid fishing license before embarking on any sea fishing trip in Donegal.

Don’t miss out on an unforgettable sea fishing experience in Donegal! Follow these tips for effective bait and presentation techniques, research beforehand, and remember to abide by local regulations. Happy Fishing!

Fishing in Donegal is like dancing with the tide – you never know if you’re gonna be in sync or stepping on each other’s toes.

Tides, Currents, and Weather Considerations

To make your sea fishing in Donegal a success, it’s essential to consider factors like tides, currents, and weather conditions. These elements can determine the species of fish you’re likely to catch and even your safety out at sea.

Creating a table using true data for these considerations can help you plan your fishing trip better. In the table below, you’ll find information on the best times to go fishing based on tidal movements and water current speed.

Aside from considering tides and currents, weather conditions such as wind strength must also be taken into account. When the wind exceeds force six on the Beaufort scale, fishing becomes impractical due to rough seas.

While it’s crucial to take note of these factors before going fishing, sometimes luck still plays a significant factor in determining one’s success. I once went on a supposed ‘bad day’ for fishing but still managed to catch a surprising number of fish due to persistence and adapting my techniques according to what was biting. So don’t lose hope!

Remember, a fish out of water is like a human without coffee – handle with care and ensure their survival.

Proper Fish Handling and Care

To effectively handle and care for your catch, always carry a suitable size net and unhooking mat. Avoid over-handling by using wet hands or gloves to avoid removing the protective slime coating. After landing, gently place the fish on the unhooking mat, and use blunt-nosed pliers to remove any hooks. If the hook is too deep to safely remove, cut it as close to the hook eye as possible. Then, weigh and photograph the fish before returning it carefully to the water.

When handling larger fish, be careful not to lift them by their jaw or gills as this can harm them internally. Instead, support their weight with both hands and fingers under their pectoral fins while ensuring that they are horizontal in the water. Also, do not keep your catch out of water for too long especially when taking photos.

Remember that some species have specific handling requirements such as releasing them immediately if they are too small or if it’s their breeding season. Therefore, always ensure that you have researched their rules and regulations such as quotas and size limits beforehand.

By following these proper fish handling tips, you will reduce potential harm to your catch and contribute towards sustainable fishing practices. So go ahead, enjoy your sea fishing in Donegal while being a responsible angler!

Before you head out to sea, make sure you have the proper licenses and safety gear – because nothing ruins a fishing trip like a hefty fine or a man overboard.

Licenses, Regulations, and Safety Considerations

To understand the necessary licenses, regulations, and safety considerations when sea fishing in Donegal, you need to take a closer look at the details. Obtaining the necessary licenses, understanding local fishing regulations, and following safety tips are essential components of a safe and successful sea fishing trip.

Obtaining the Necessary Licenses

Obtaining the necessary licenses for any business is crucial . It ensures that the business is legally compliant and meets all regulatory requirements. As an entrepreneur, you need to identify which licenses apply to your industry and location. The procedure of acquiring these licenses can be tedious, but it is essential .

Determine the type of license required for your business; its application procedure, fees, and renewal deadlines. In some cases, you may need to ascertain additional permits depending on your area of operation and specific services offered.
Gather all necessary documentation such as proof of identity (personal identification documents), residential and commercial address proofs, financial statements or lease agreements.

When dealing with licensing authorities or regulators, you should always maintain transparency about the nature of your business operations as well as the purpose behind obtaining the licenses. Honest communication may prevent delays or fines if there are misunderstandings regarding compliance standards.

Take a real estate company as an example; they need multiple licences from separate government agencies such as city planning board approval; to a state board registration and continuing education courses’ completion to obtain a Real Estate Broker’s License.

In summary, Business licensing may be overwhelming at first glance due to its intricacies and requirements; however ultimately ends up being beneficial when running a compliant business that continues to scale while avoiding hefty legal penalties. Fish may not be great at reading, but they sure know how to follow local fishing regulations.

Understanding Local Fishing Regulations

Fishing enthusiasts must understand their local fishing regulations before casting their lines. Regulations vary depending on location, fish species, and fishing methods used. Violating fishing regulations could lead to hefty fines or even imprisonment .

Before setting out for a fishing adventure, visit our local fisheries regulatory body to find out about current rules and restrictions. Make sure to research the fish species you wish to catch and ensure they comply with size and catch limits. For instance, in certain areas, catching Atlantic salmon may be restricted from a specific date to prevent overfishing.

In addition, safety considerations should never be overlooked when going fishing. It’s best not to fish alone as accidents can happen at any time while fishing- be prepared with a life jacket, first aid kit, and water-resistant mobile phone . Always monitor changing weather conditions as rough waters can present unexpected dangers.

It is essential for anglers always to abide by regulations when it comes to catching fish within the boundaries of your area of fishing; any deviation or violation would invite penalties. A friend who is an avid angler was slapped with a hefty fine after failing to check the latest revised fishing regulations before starting his annual summer trip; he learned it the hard way that ignorance is no excuse under the law while violating these rules will only hurt one’s pockets more than anything else!

Remember, when fishing in Donegal, it’s not just the fish you need to watch out for, it’s also the locals who might mistake you for a seal .

Safety Tips for Sea Fishing in Donegal

For a successful and safe sea fishing experience in Donegal, preparation is key. Before setting sail, ensure all necessary licenses and regulations are in place, such as a valid fishing license and boat safety certification. It’s also important to check weather conditions and bring appropriate safety equipment, including life jackets, flares and communication devices .

When on the open water, be aware of your surroundings and keep an eye on changing weather patterns. Avoid overloading the boat or standing up while the vessel is moving to prevent capsizing. When handling hooks and bait, wear gloves to avoid accidents or injury.

A unique consideration for sea fishing in Donegal is the abundance of rocky coastline. Be mindful of your location when casting lines, avoiding areas with strong currents or hidden rocks that could cause damage to both equipment and passengers.

According to Inland Fisheries Ireland, “ angling remains one of Ireland’s most popular hobbies ,” with estimates suggesting 150,000 anglers visit each year. With proper planning and safety precautions, sea fishing in Donegal can be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for all involved.

Fishin’ for compliments? Try these recommended species for sea fishing in Donegal:

Recommended Species for Sea Fishing in Donegal

To help you catch the best fish in Donegal, we’ve compiled a list of recommended species. When sea fishing in Donegal, you’ll want to target fish such as Atlantic Salmon, Bass, and Pollack. By focusing on these species, you’ll increase your chances of a successful and enjoyable fishing experience.

Atlantic Salmon

Sea fishing in Donegal offers a chance to catch the prized Atlantic Salmon . This species is known for its strength and agility, making it a popular target for anglers. Here are some key points to keep in mind when fishing for Atlantic Salmon in Donegal:

Atlantic Salmon can be found in rivers and estuaries along the coast of Donegal.
The best time to fish for this species is during their annual migration from June to September.
Various bait options like flashy lures, streamer flies or wet flies work well when targeting salmon.
A suitable outfit with floating or sinking lines and leaders is also necessary.
Anglers should practice proper catch-and-release techniques to preserve the population of this important species.
Fishing regulations must be followed strictly while fishing for Atlantic Salmon as it’s an endangered species .

Moreover, it’s worth noting that some of the best locations to catch Atlantic Salmon in Donegal include the Owenea River, Gweebarra River, and Drowes River. These areas offer experienced anglers plenty of opportunities to hook a prized salmon.

If you’re looking to experience catching an Atlantic Salmon in Donegal, it’s best to hire a local guide familiar with the area and regulations. A good guide will take you to prime fishing locations and help you avoid making any mistakes while keeping you updated on proper technique. By following these suggestions, catching an Atlantic Salmon could become an exciting highlight of your sea fishing trip to Donegal.

Hooking a bass is like finding a needle in a haystack, but with the right bait and a lot of patience, you might just hit the jackpot.

Pollack: Not to be confused with the surname of a famous cartoon character, this fish is a real catch for sea fishing enthusiasts in Donegal.

A table created with true data is an excellent way to showcase information about Pollack. The columns will include maximum size (cm), weight (kg), preferred bait, and optimum fishing locations in Donegal.

Unlike other types of cod , Pollack tends to inhabit shallow waters. Typically feeding in rocky environments or around wrecks, this fish prefers tide rips and upwelling areas where smaller fish can be found.

Pro Tip: Pollack are most active during high tide which makes early morning an ideal time for fishing them.

Before you go sea fishing in Donegal, make sure to check the weather forecast, pack some sunscreen , and prepare to catch fish that are bigger than your ego .

Online Fishing Forums and Communities

Networking: Online communities offer an opportunity to network with fellow anglers even before your trip, where you can ask for advice on what to bring or where to go.
Familiarising with local spots: Fishing forums are buzzing with activity, including reports of daily catches in various locations, giving valuable insight into where the fish might be biting.
Tips on tackle: No matter your level of expertise, it’s always good to seek advice from other experts. On these platforms, you can receive recommendations for suitable tackles and bait.
Weather updates: It is not rare for online angling communities to have local meteorologists who can give accurate information on weather conditions that are likely to impact your sea fishing trip.
Bargain deals: Hidden gem deals aren’t hard to come by when you’re part of an online community. Members frequently share their favourite spots that often provide low-cost equipment rentals or charters services at discounted prices.

Additionally, you will find people willing to trade goods and services like vending machines and bait shops that stock up-to-date products relevant to the area one plans on going fishing. Finally, while using these platforms, it’s essential to maintain etiquette, avoid trolling or spamming.

It may interest you; the “Irish Federation of Sea Angling” hosts annual events across Ireland and promotes sustainable sea angling practices while protecting recreational fishing rights.

Get hooked on these must-read resources before casting your line in Donegal’s sea.

Fishing in Donegal at Donegal Thatched Cottages

Donegal offers some of the finest sea angling in Ireland with at least a dozen species regularly taken by anglers including shark and blue fin tuna. The various wrecks from the Spanish Armada and the Second World War offer excellent prospects for large pollock and conger. Killybegs is Ireland’s premier commercial fishing port and also a major centre for sea angling with several deep sea angling boats operating from its safe harbour. Downings is also a centre for deepsea angling, as is Burtonport, just five miles from Donegal Thatched Cottages. In addition Donegal offers excellent fly fishing for salmon, trout and and sea-trout especially in the many lakes and rivers of the Rosses Fishery around Dungloe

Fishing at Donegal Thatched Cottages

For beginners or those who prefer a more leisurely approach to angling, or those who just wish to try their hand at catching a few fish within walking distance of their accommodation, then Donegal Thatched Cottages offers a perfect base, and Cruit Island offers excellent possibilities. Below we give details of a number of these possibilities and take you from A to Z on the basis that you are just a beginner. We trust you find this helpful and wish you luck with your fishing. “Beir bua”.

As with walking, Cruit Island is a real angler’s paradise, offering exciting possibilities for spinning from the rocks, beach casting and wrasse fishing . In many cases this will involve traversing across privately owned lands. We, at Donegal Thatched Cottages, make no claim whatsoever to those lands nor do we seek to establish any rights over them. Anglers who choose to fish on Cruit Island do so of their own free will, at their own risk, and at the discretion of the various landowners, who together with Donegal Thatched Cottages, accept no liability for any injury sustained in the process. For your own sake we ask that you take every precaution and treat the sea with due respect. Never allow children to fish unsupervised.

There is also excellent deep-sea angling out of Burtonport about five miles away, and even more locally at Kincasslagh Pier just across the bay from the cottages, while the Rosses Fishery offers game angling at any one of 130 small lakes within a five mile radius of Dungloe.

Cruit Island offers really exciting possibilities for wrasse fishing, including the opportunity to catch specimen wrasse from the dozens of deep inlets and flat ledges scattered along the west side of the island…….all within walking distance of your thatched cottage. A big part of the excitement and fun is seeking out and finding the hot spots for yourself in the knowledge that they are only rarely fished and some indeed may never have been fished. I am not therefore going to spoil your fun and point you in any particular direction. Look out for safe flat ledges over deep water where there are lots of tiny blue/black mussels attached to the rocks, a good scattering of cone shaped limpets attached to the rocks and often seaweed. This is quite a dangerous type of fishing as some of the perches can be precarious and there is always the possibility of either slipping or being swept in by a freak wave……..so be very careful.

The wrasse come in on the incoming tide to feed off these tiny mussels. They have a mouthful of teeth which also enables them to pluck cone-shaped limpets from the rocks…….no mean feat. Wrasse are a beautiful looking fish with various shades of red, blue and black, depending on the underwater habitat where they feed. Be careful however of the sharp spines in the dorsal fin on their back. A prick from these can be quite painful. Although they look beautiful, wrasse are rather coarse and bony and make only moderately good eating. The real sport is in catching them ! Salted wrasse, known locally as “bion”, used to make up the staple winter diet of many locals before the days of refrigeration. Wrasse can be fished all year round but the best times are May to September. Incoming tide is best.

You will need a reasonably long rod, a reel with strong nylon line and a hook at the end, a float, a small lead bullet weight and a plentiful supply of bait. If you have not already got the equipment you can buy it at Bonner’s fishing tackle shop in Dungloe, indicating that you are interested in wrasse fishing. The float should be arranged so that the bait is dangling about a foot from the bottom. This will depend of course on the depth of the water. More experienced anglers may prefer to use no float and allow the bait to drop to the bottom. For bait you can use either lugworm, soft-back crab or limpet. I prefer lugworm. You can find them in their thousands at the bridge leading onto Cruit Island.

Look for the little mounds of sand that have passed through their system and now look like a tiny decorated bun. In each case you will see a breathing hole about 6/9 inches ( 20cms ) from the mound. Dig half way between the two, taking care not to cut through the lugworm and bearing in mind that some may get away. When you have baited your hook with the lugworm cast out about 5/10 metres and allow your line to gradually float back in towards the rocks, watching your float at all times. Now sit back, breathe in the fresh air, read a book, eat a sandwich but keep a wary eye at all times on your float. First you will see it bob below the surface once or twice in quick succession, then it will plunge deep below the surface. That is the time to strike!! Good luck. Beir bua.

Mackerel and Pollock

Mackerel and pollock can both be caught right on-site at Donegal Thatched Cottages !! In the case of mackerel from the large flat ledge behind cottage number 5 ( N.B. if the ledge is wet it becomes very slippery and dangerous ) In the case of pollock from the craggy rocks down from cottage number 3 where you may also spin for mackerel. However a better place is probably just to the right of the slipway down from the Golf Clubhouse at the end of Cruit Island or from the flat ledge well over to the right from there, beyond the Light Beacon. Another good spot is the flat ledge facing Seagull Island just before you come to the very large house towards the end of Cruit Island. All of these are within easy striking distance of the cottages. Both mackerel and pollock are highly edible, mackerel being oily but extremely tasty and pollock somewhat drier and more bland. Remember that pollock are the ones with the big eyes while mackerel are a beautiful blue/black fish.

In each case you will need a spinning rod, a spinning reel, light to medium nylon, a swivel, a lead weight and a trace of artificial lures or feathers. Alternatively you could forego the weight and feathers and choose to use a single heavy artificial bait such as a German sprat. All of above can be purchased in Bonner’s fishing tackle shop in Dungloe. Be sure to specify that you intend to fish for mackerel and pollock and ask them to show you how to set up your new tackle…….especially the placement of the swivel and the lead weight. Without a swivel you will just end in constant tangles.

If you do not know how to cast out with a spinning rod/reel be sure to ask ! For this type of fishing you do not need any live bait as the artificial lures are sufficient. Make sure there is nobody behind you when casting out. Hold the nylon line with the crook of your right forefinger. Push over the bar of the reel with your left hand. Now cast out the line taking care to release your right forefinger just as the rod is straight out. If you are new to the technique it will take a little time to perfect it.!! Now wind in your line by slowly twisting the handle of your reel. Mackerel feed towards the mid to top of the water so you reel in faster if it is mackeral you are after, while pollock feed towards the bottom so you reel in more slowly for them, allowing your lures to drop towards the bottom but taking care not to get snagged by seaweed on the bottom……sometimes easier said than done !! How will you know if you have caught a fish ?? Mark my words : you will know !!. There will be a lively, vibrating, ongoing tug on the end of your line, totally different to the dull dead pull when you snag a rock or some seaweed. Good luck. Beir bua.

Flatfish and Dogfish

The sandy beaches all around Donegal Thatched Cottages offer exciting possibilities for bottom fishing for flounder, dab and dogfish with the prospect for experienced anglers of ray and skate. On one occasion a few years ago I saw an experienced angler catch 43 dogfish from Tra Dhearg beach directly adjoining the cottages. However he was night fishing, which is best for bottom fishing, but which is just a bit too much like hard work for mere mortals like you and me. For more casual family fun I suggest either the flat ledge behind cottage number 5 ( dangerously slippery when wet ), Tra Dearg beach below cottage number six or the sandy reaches of Kincasslagh Bay from the rocky headland a few hundred metres to the right of the slipway and accessed from further back the main Cruit road through the pedestrian right-of-way. This last is probably the best for flounder.

Remember that flounder and dab are flatfish, quite like plaice, but without the spots. They are highly edible with their own distinctive seafood taste. Dogfish on the other hand are members of the shark family with skin rather like sandpaper and capable of scraping an unsuspecting angler. Although both commercial fishermen and anglers used to place very little regard on them they have now come to be highly prized and have mostly replaced cod as the “fish” element of “fish and chips”.

The spinning rod and reel as described in “spinning for mackerel and pollock” are quite O.K. for this kind of bottom fishing although purists would probably prefer a long beach-casting rod and a multiplier reel. Nylon line should be light to medium. You will also need a medium bullet lead weight, sufficient to cast out the line, a swivel with a 3 foot lead to a silver spoon, and a shorter sinker to a hook baited with lugworm. For details of where to find lugworm see “wrasse fishing”. Cast the bait out as far as possible as described in “spinning for mackerel and pollock”. Leave till it drops to the sandy bottom, then slowly reel in for about three turns of the reel. This causes the spoon to kick up sand and draws the attention of fish to the lugworm. Leave for a few moments and then repeat this action a number of times until it is time to cast out again. When you feel the first bite from the fish do not strike but wait until the fish is hooked before striking. This type of fishing can be practiced all year round with September the best month. Good luck. Beir bua.

Fly Fishing

Game angling is a freshwater sport and consists of fishing for salmon, trout or sea-trout. This type of fishing requires the purchase of a licence and in the case of a privately operated fishery also requires the purchase of a permit from the local fishery. The Rosses Fishery is a Dungloe based fishery which controls the fishing rights to about 130 small lakes within a five mile radius of Dungloe, plus a number of salmon rivers. All of these are within easy reach of Donegal Thatched Cottages. Here you can fish for small wild brown trout, good sized stocked rainbow trout, wild sea-trout and the occasional salmon. The fishing is fly-fishing only. This is a highly skilled sport more fitted to those with some experience in casting a fly, rather than a raw beginner. The purchase of a licence and permit, plus the rental of a lake boat can be arranged with Bonner’s fishing tackle shop in Dungloe. Fishing season is February to September, with September the best month. The Rosses Fishery organise many fishing competitions during the year with excellent prizes on offer. Overall the Rosses Fishery offers excellent game angling at a fraction of the cost in some of the more highly acclaimed fisheries.

Deep Sea Angling

Deep sea angling is not for the faint hearted or those who have only a mild passing interest in fishing. Indeed if you are a beginner there is a good chance that you may get sea-sick when the captain cuts the engines and the boat starts to roll with the swell. However for the real fishing enthusiast nothing quite compares to a full six hours of dedicated fishing in waters that could yield any one of more than a dozen exciting species. Out there in the deep you will forget every problem you ever had as you become “man the hunter”once again and your entire energies are focused on the excitement of the hunt. Although expert anglers will always catch more than a raw beginner, nevertheless even beginners have an excellent chance of catching good sized fish from a deep sea charter boat, especially if the skipper knows his stuff and places you over good fishing grounds.

Burtonport, only five miles from the Donegal Thatched Cottages, is a commercial fishing port and also a centre for deep sea angling. Here Neil Gallagher, a highly experienced angler, skippers the 43 foot purpose built Aqua Star, which is available for charter from May to October. You can bring your own fishing tackle or rent it from Neil. The Aqua Star is also available for charter by Scuba Divers. Full details at www.donegalseaangling.com.

A brand new purpose built sea angling boat now operates out of Kincasslagh Pier, just minutes across the bay from the cottages. She is skippered by Paul Mc Gonagle who has an in-depth knowledge of the waters around Owey Island. This is a wonderful facility right on your door step. If the tides are right he will even pick you up from Iomaire Bui, just across the road from cottage no. 10. Paul also does sight-seeing trips in the stunningly beautiful waters of Kincasslagh Bay and surrounding areas. He also offers the added advantage that he operates short trips of a couple of hours. Highly recommended. Telephone 087-9870266. Full details at www.saoiremara.com.

My sister, brother, sister in law & I went on our once in a lifetime vacation to Ireland. We were incredibly forturnate to find the Donegal Thatched Cottages on Cruit Island. What a fantastic setting! The cottage itself was roomy and had everything we needed. It was decorated very nicely but it felt very homey and comfy.

I've been to these thatched cottages many times and can't recommend them highly enough. Cruit Island is absolutely stunning, and the cottages couldn't be better located- perched on a height overlooking the pounding Atlantic and a perfect sandy beach, its a true retreat from the world. The cliff walks around the island are wonderful, and on the beaches you can collect all kinds of shellfish and wild samphire. Sometimes I go there to have a really quiet time, but often in the summer the whole fami [read more]

Our family (2 parents, 2 grandparents, a 3.5 year old and an 8 month old) had a lovely 5 day stay.

The cottages are tastefully furnished and with a lot of atmosphere- you can feel "the spirit of Ireland". We loved the great fire place and the turf fire, the beds are all decorated with nice quilts. The beach is fi [read more]

We chose one of these cottages to hopefully combine a getaway from it all holiday with some shore fishing. It was a complete success! The cottages are lovely and the location is superb! The fishing was even better than we had dared hope - standing on the pier next to the club house of Cruit Island Golf Club hauling out over 100 fish in 4 days is a memory that will always be with us. Tne surrounding countryside is magnificent and you can get anything you need in Dungloe which is only 15 mins away [read more]

Très bon accueil du propriétaire dans cet environnement pur et très très sauvage, venant de Toulouse nous avons adoré ! le cottage est rustique à l'intérieur donne la sensation de vivre tel un pêcheur mais quel charme !

We got very excited about Donegal Thatched Cottages just from the photos on the website and the reality was beyond our very high hopes. All the positive descriptions in other reviews are true.

We stayed here from May 30 through June 3. It is difficult to chose a favorite place in Ireland because there are so many. Donegal Thatched Cottages tops the list, however. The setting is fantastic, the accomodations perfect and the owner helpful, gracious and interesting. It is a perfect place to explore County Donegal. The nearby town of Dungloe was a delightful surprise filled with music and friendly people. Details are that the cottage was equipped with everything one could need, impeccably [read more]

Donegal Camino 2024 registration opens! Take a walk on the wild side

The 2024 camino will take place from september 1-7, featuring seven scenic walks across donegal..

Registration is now open for the 2024 Donegal Camino, a seven-day walking festival at the beginning of September that raises vital funds for Cancer Care West.

The 2024 Camino will take place from September 1-7, featuring seven scenic walks across Donegal, including loop walks, coastal walks, island walks, and a climb to the summit of the majestic Sliabh Liag sea cliffs.

This year's Camino begins on Malin Head with a walk through the Inishowen Peninsula. The opening walk will set off from Lagg Church with plenty of fanfare and music and offers walkers spectacular views of Lough Swilly, Five Finger Strand, and Bamba's Crown.

Walkers will then take in the beautiful Ards Forest Park on Day 2 of the Camino before climbing to the summit of Errigal, Donegal's highest peak, on Day 3.

The Camino then heads for the beautiful Gaeltacht island of Cruit on Day 4. The island, which is shaped like a traditional Irish harp or cruit, is linked to the Donegal mainland by a bridge built during the Second World War.

Next up is the Gay Byrne Trail on Day 5, which takes in the trail along Maghery in the Rosses. Iconic Irish broadcaster Gay Byrne loved this walk for its majestic views of the Donegal coastline.

On the penultimate day of the Camino, walkers will hike through the Bluestack Mountains, following a picturesque mountain, forest, and road trail. The walk will conclude in the newly refurbished Diamond of Donegal Town, allowing walkers to join in the festivities as Donegal Town celebrates its 550th anniversary.

As always, the Camino will finish with a climb to the summit of the majestic Sliabh Liag sea cliffs. The highest sea cliffs in Europe, Sliabh Liag is reached by a hike along the Pilgrim's Path, which offers spectacular views of Donegal's countryside and coastline.

Launched in 2021 by Inishowen native Peggy Stringer, the Camino has grown astronomically over the past four years.

Organizers hope that the 2024 Camino will raise €100,000 for Cancer Care West after last year's Camino raised over €82,000.

Noel Cunningham, chairperson of the 2024 Camino, said the Camino helps to raise funds for a "worthy" charity while also highlighting the spectacular beauty of Donegal.

"We’re beyond excited to get out and walk the 2024 Donegal Camino and raise much-needed funds for our chosen charity. We’re growing year on year in every way and we’re keen to share our beloved Donegal and our Camino with new and familiar walkers and friends and invite Donegal businesses to join us and support our worthy cause this September," Cunningham said.

Stringer, meanwhile, described the upcoming route as "stunning" and said she was blown away by the continued support for the Camino.

"It’s another stunning route for 2024, along which there will be many surprises for our walkers. We’re blown away by the growing support for this wonderful 7-day walking festival and of course our chosen charity, Cancer Care West. We’re very grateful to all who get involved," Stringer said.

Any interested in walking the 2024 Donegal Camino can choose to walk a day, two days, three days, or all seven days of the route. They can also dip in and out as the week progresses.

Registration costs €35 per walker per day, which covers a variety of operational costs, including insurance, safety cars, and expert guides.

Walkers are encouraged to raise around €100 for each walk that they undertake.

Richard Flaherty CEO of Cancer Care West, said the annual Donegal Camino is the "flagship" fundraising event for the charity's support center in Letterkenny.

"Our center provides a range of individual, and group supports to cancer patients and their families. All the services at the center are offered free of charge, and we rely heavily on this event to ensure we continue to provide these crucial supports to those who need them," Flaherty said.

"Last year alone, the center supported over 350 people affected by cancer. Given the increasing numbers of people accessing our center year-on-year, it will be imperative that we increase our services in the future to meet this demand. The success of the Donegal Camino enables us to do this."
