You heard right — Donegal’s waters go absolutely mad for bluefin from late summer into early autumn. The run is short but epic. If you’re after a proper tuna charter, not some touristy boat ride, look no further than FishingGuide https://fishingguide.ie/. They hook you up with legit, licensed skippers who’ve been chasing tuna off the Irish coast for years. It’s all done under the CHART program (that’s the official catch-and-release tagging system), so you’re in safe and legal hands. We went out from Killybegs last September — the weather was grand, sea was calm, and within two hours we were hooked into something massive. If you and your mates are after a serious fight on the rod, this’ll do it. Just make sure you eat your porridge — it’s heavy lifting out there!
