Hi

You can download a PDF guide on baits from the home page, just click on the lnk - 1 MB so it might take a while depending on your interent connection....

http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org

You can also look there at the suggestions in Donegal etc. on marks...

Hope this helps. If you register people can send you private messages (PMs) on marks that are fishing, more specific advice etc...

Hope This Helps...

benone or downhill, flatfish(flounder and turbot) use ragworm or lugworm tipped with mackerel strip for best results on a size 2 - 1/0 aberdeen hook
for bass use a 1/0 - 3/0 baited with straight ragworm.
a 2 or 3 hook rig for both
good luck, need any more info just post.
