i'd stay in westport,and if you book into the helm pub,the owner is a fishing nut,and there is a tackle shop right next door,called,"the shore thing" ran by doug priddy,he knows his stuff,and you can preorder bait from him,westport would be very central to all the good clew bay marks,and if you give me a shout closer to the day we can organise a day out on some of the better spots.i'll pm you the numbers for the helm and the shore thing.
