Fishing near Clogherhead, Co. Louth

Clogherhead sits on the only high, rocky headland on Ireland's east coast between the Mournes and Howth, in County Louth. Port Oriel harbour, the largest in the north-east of Ireland, is the focal point for sea angling in the area, drawing local and visiting anglers to its pier and surrounding rocky outcrops. The waters here are best known for summer mackerel shoals, with a wider range of species available from the rocks, pier, and nearby sandy beaches such as Termonfeckin to the south.
