Game Sea Fishing in Sligo & Donegal Bay, the prolific North West Coast of Ireland
Big Fish!
We are proud to catch Ireland’s most prolific game fish here in Sligo and Donegal Bay. Departing Rosses Point, we are lucky to have the option of fishing Sligo or Donegal Bay depending on the forecast and the most recent fishing catches. With us you can catch fantastic examples of blue shark, porbeagle, tope and skate as well as the bluefin tuna, We have caught each of these to specimen size in the past. We have a multitude of other species available for catch listed on our sea fishing page.
Sea Trout
We ghillie for clients wishing to catch sea trout from our smaller boat “Dalemoor”. This has a lower draft for fishing the shallows and sandbanks which they frequent. We are lucky to enjoy regular catches of this species whilst in season. For more details on sea trout, please contact your skipper!
Shark, Skate, Tope
We fish for blue & porbeagle shark (July to October – weigh up to 200lbs). Common skate (we have caught these up to 220lbs – September to June). Tope (end of May until mid August we have many Irish specimen records and these generally weigh from 20-50 lbs). When fishing these species it is important we pay particular attention to the tidal state to maximize the catch ratio. Please call to check tidal state whilst in season and arrange a suitable time to charter the boat. We often allocate a longer day for some of the harder to catch species.
It is also very important, that when fishing game species you don’t take any chances, and choose a skipper with a proven fish catching track record. Just check out our photos!
