It’s been a good week for Killybegs Fishing Trips , despite some heavy weather and lumpy seas. A day out last week saw a hardy crew taking on wild Atlantic Ocean. “Horrible day at sea today, lump was much bigger than forecast was giving, 4 hardy souls braved the elements, not going to lie, it was a tough morning, we came in early with the day getting no better, but just before we did we got a double hook up, we got 1 nice lively 245lb fish to the boat and unfortunately lost the 2nd one. #td_uid_1_6ad1fe2be39eb .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/835598239_2030172024986446_8351499059293826864_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_1_6ad1fe2be39eb .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/835248718_2030171804986468_1703336678908212381_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_1_6ad1fe2be39eb .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/836222608_2030171668319815_5819481129275624708_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_1_6ad1fe2be39eb .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item4 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/836871726_2030171861653129_7537169517870687815_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_1_6ad1fe2be39eb .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item5 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/837094147_2030171598319822_8282220339392191453_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_1_6ad1fe2be39eb .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item6 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/834870757_2030171911653124_2368575727970163477_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } 1 of 6   There followed a few days off with high seas, before another successful outing on Sunday: Skipper – “Another successful trip out at the mighty bluefin tuna, starting with a double hook up, unfortunately lost one at the top of the water but got the other to the boat and measured, tagged and released, didn’t take long to hook up again. This fish fought really hard and took great skill to get him to the boat in a big swell, the weather really did turn nasty then, so decided to head in near to shore, lads then decided to head back to the harbour, they were happy enough, ” #td_uid_2_6ad1fe2be513c .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/840052570_2034400687896913_7640216006066598313_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6ad1fe2be513c .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item2 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/840901600_2034401231230192_3863125361573900371_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6ad1fe2be513c .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item3 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/840664460_2034400077896974_5472642318142989345_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6ad1fe2be513c .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item4 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/840420576_2034400484563600_8418418936093610603_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6ad1fe2be513c .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item5 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/840233196_2034401181230197_7671133981333701456_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6ad1fe2be513c .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item6 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/846671642_2034400417896940_169437476722844290_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6ad1fe2be513c .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item7 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/843279683_2034400587896923_5345282241402548925_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6ad1fe2be513c .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item8 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/842610450_2034400744563574_6482109976019175880_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6ad1fe2be513c .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item9 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/842534242_2034400951230220_7048914719697136097_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6ad1fe2be513c .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item10 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/841388354_2034400541230261_9112317031662116275_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6ad1fe2be513c .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item11 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/841320085_2034401067896875_4505904453311142671_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } #td_uid_2_6ad1fe2be513c .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item12 { background: url(https://fishinginireland.info/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/841298004_2034400121230303_4996439914300766_n-80x60.jpg) 0 0 no-repeat; } 1 of 12 There are still free dates left this season, including this Sunday, so get booking if you fancy a go at catching one of these giants!     Go Fishing… Killybegs Fishing Trips Killybegs Fishing Trips Address Killybegs Donegal Irelandwork Mobile Phone: +353 87 2540190cell Email: info@killybegsfishingcharters.ieINTERNET Website: killybegsfishingcharters.ie More information Find on Map | Notes Fiona Tee 33′ Interceptor. 300HP Caterpillar Skipper: Keith Clarke/ Michael McGettigan / Declan McGettigan Licence: 961 Base: Mullaghmore, Killybegs Operational area: Donegal Bay.
