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!
