Try Strangford Lough for bait...theres Lugworm as far as the eye can see. Loads of cockles as well, and I guess clams. Apparently theres good ragworm beds somewhere in the lough. Never dug there myself but drove past it a couple of times - its huge.

Tich - dont even think about digging or collecting any bait from strangford lough- unless you can do a very strong west belfast accent - when the locals ask you for the time of the next tide - I do not speak from experiance but have spent many years visiting belfast and please be assured you will be made VERY welcome in \"norn iron\" but not if your nicking thier bait.
