Heading down next saturday to have a go at some of our Southern beaches. I have fished the Dungarvan area a few times but caught nothing (Cortaz wanted to know if I was using hooks

). Question is should I try Wexford or Waterford? Ideally I would love to hook into a bass as it's been a few years since I last caught one. Will be travelling with 2 new anglers to the sport so would be better if we fished clean ground to keep tackle losses to a minimum and not discourage them. Don't mind surface plugging over rougher ground in daylight hours.
If Wexford is the common concensus I would appreciate any advice as I've never fished any marks there before. I'm familiar with quite a few of the marks and their locations in Waterford, but again any advice on preferrable marks would be appreciated.
heading from Co.Down on the Saturday afternoon, staying overnight and returning on Sunday morning so hopefully should catch the various states of the tide.
Not expecting anyone to give specifics out on an open forum, but general pointers would be welcome. (alternatively PM?)
Thanks in advance.
