Hi,
If you're in the Cahore area, you could try the beach on the far side of the headland. You can either walk over from the pier or drive around. Although parking can be tricky near the beach if the ground is muddy.

An alternative is to try the pier at courtown.

try the beach at the other side of the headland than the pier, bring lug and fish a 3 hok flapper between 30 and 100 yards out and you ll bag up on good flounder.
