from experience. I would recommend Eamon Hayes,he never stops trying for fish,especially something unusual,like trigger fish or giltheads.although too early for both,Joe Byrne out of Courtown is top notch,is there no end to this mans talent ?.Both lads are approachable ,friendly and patient with anglers of all abilities. :)

Have to second Eamon as a recomendation as well as Dick Hayes in fact nearly all the lads down there will try for you.
Steyrman is dead right though bit early to head out but ring now as Eamon Hayes is practically booked up for every weekend this year. So I reckon most of the others are the same.
