Beginners and experienced sea anglers are excellently
catered for in Cleggan, with the wide Atlantic Ocean at your doorstep!
You never know what fish may turn up on any given day, but the
variety can be astounding. Record tuna have been caught from here; large
ling, codling, skate, monkfish, turbot, blue shark...you name it. In
season, you will pull several mackeral up on one line. There are a
couple of sea angling outfits based in Cleggan, and one is described
below; it's a great one, and Johnny King is a really nice guy to do
business with!
