Orkney Longliner 16 Sligo area location

Bikerguy

Long story short, i have some boat experience and i owned a lake boat...o sullivan... So fresh water is grand... I know how to drive a boat and what to do and not to do...

But i pulled a trigger on orkney longliner 16 with 15hp 4 stroke..as i wanted to try a bit of sea fishing... I am aware that the boat is build like tank and will reach max speed of 10km/h i dont mind that at all...

Can anyone kind help me with location...where would be good place to start? I live in Roscommon so anywhere between Easkey and Ballyshannon would be something i could look into. I mean someone with knowledge can tell me where would be relatively safe to learn/fish on the boat?

I have all the safety sorted...but i am unfamiliar with the area... It has to have good launching harbour- pier and not waves for surfing... If possible...i can find the fish no hassle just unsure where to start...

Ps: have life vests, flares, charter gps/ depth /fish finder mobile (Spare)

I would suggest Killala Bay as a good starting point. Accessible from Killala or Enniscrone. However, the slip (at the pier) is Enniscrone is quite steep and can have a lot of seaweed on it. The one at Killala looks to have a more gentle gradient.

Killala - nice gradient, but a bit of a hike out to the bay. I'm not certain but I think it is accessible on all tides.

Enniscrone is definitely tidal and the slip is steeper than it looks here.

I know Enniscrone, its for sure tidal... When out its almost dry with sand and weed...i dont see anybody launching or retrieving any boat there when tide out...

I will check Killala for sure...

I honestly thank you for your time and advice. Have a wonderful day
