Angling Header
A boat trip along the coast of Slieve League is an experience to savor. The trip takes you along the base of what are the highest sea cliffs in all of Europe.
The trips also afford opportunities for bird watching, dolphin watching and of course angling.
There are 10 species of fish that can be caught along the coast. These include, pollock, ling, mackeral and cod.
The views of Slieve League afforded from a boat are truley magnificant and an not to be missed.
Angling Info
Sea Angling in Glencolmcille
Fully Licenced Boat charters are available for hire from a range of local operators based in this area of Southwest Donegal.
For exammple The Nuala Star is a 36-foot fibreglass Ocean Tramp purpose built sea angling boat with a 300hp engine with a top speed of 18 knots. Onboard we have all the up to date safety, navigation, fish finding equipment and an experienced skipper to where the fish are anywhere in Donegal bay and sometimes beyond. The boat is licensed and insured for up to 12 anglers. For bigger groups
other licensed boats in the area can be arrannged.
There are many different species of fish within a short tirp including Pollock, ling, Cod, Skate, Conger eel, Ballan wrasse, Cuckoo wrasse, red, green and Tub Gurnard, Flats, Dogs to name a few and mackerel for bait is usually easy enough to catch. The Pollock will go for firetails on lead heads and are great fun on light rods. Later in the season we target Blue sharks tagging and releasing any that are caught. We are hoping to start fishing for Blue fin tuna in the next few years.
The skipper Paddy has over 20 years experience in both commercial fishing
and leisure angling and has all the necessary qualifications and training to
make your trip a safe and a memorable one. Paddy is a member of the North
West Charter Skippers Association (N.W.C.S.A>) who have 14 members in Sligo
and Donegal and who work together to promote angling in the north west of
Ireland.
These charters can cater for specialised sea angling groups or for sight seeing trips viewing Bunglass, which are the highest sea cliffs in Europe, from the sea.
We will be happy to make bookings with The Nual Star on your behalf.
