Dublin boat hire, excluding Bulloch

Does anyone know of anywhere else besides Bulloch harbour that hires out boats for fishing? Haven't been doing too well around there and am dying to try somewhere else, even Bray or Greystones?

Hired a boat from them yesterday - a simple 16 feet angling boat with 10HP engine.

Was a nice trip - me and 3 more lads fishing across the shoreline on 7-9 meters depth with feathers/jigs.
Took 2.5 hours to find a good spot and 1.5 hours to land around 30 small cods, 40-50-ish cm long.
No mackerel :(

If you go there - beware of the crab trap ropes - we caught one with an anchor and it was pain to free it.
