The Inishowen Peninsula is almost surrounded by excellent Sea Fishing waters. Lough Foyle, Lough Swilly and the North Atlantic coast provide some of the best fishing in the World.

Take a journey with us through our Fishing Guide below:



Below the R238 coast road, north of Muff, in the vicinity of Quigley’s Point (A) there are patches of lugworm, which can be dug fairly easily, on the foreshore at low tide. Some small harbour ragworm can also be dug in the same area while crab can be found in the weed margins during summer.

Before it enters the sea at the western end of the beach the Culdaff River (B) forms a small estuary behind the sand dunes. Lugworm are found on the banks of the channel and where the river crosses the beach, sandeel can be dug in the wet sand.

As the R242 road swings back east from the beach towards Malin village it runs along the Northern Shore of Trawbrega Bay (C) where lugworm casts will be found on the banks of the estuary channel. Trench digging is most productive just to the south of the road bridge at Malin, where worms are plentiful but the foreshore is very muddy.

Crab can be collected along the weedy eastern shore of Tullagh Point (D) while lugworm can be dug on the eastern end of the bay.
Below Dunree on the beach at Stragill (E) lugworm are plentiful, when trench digging, though they are somewhat small. Larger worms can be found nearer the low tide line but they are burrowed deep in the sand and can only be taken successfully by single digging, which is time consuming and not very productive.
