Imho you are wasting your time fishing the rocks till it starts to warm up, you might pick up the odd pollack. Fanore is hit and miss even when it is fishing well but if you were to go early in the week you could get lucky. Try razor or sandeel. It will be full of weed at the moment but it should settle down over the next few days.
