Can anybody please recommend a few handy spots for spinning around the Westport area. Just some easy access areas for macks , pollock bass etc . Will be down that way soon.

Old head in louisburgh is a good spot for pollock and wrasse. Walk down to the rocks on the left hand side of pier. Bertra is a good spot for mack (end of beach). Not many in yet though.
The two best times to fish is when it's rainin' and when it ain't!!
