Sea fishing in West Cork can be very good and in many areas is underexplored. The Beara and Sheeps Head peninsula's come to mind. Click on http://bit.ly/grqlUz or work off the home page of http://www.anirishanglersworld.com. You will find a lot of up to date information relating to West Cork shore fishing. Ballan wrasse, pollack, mullet, codling, and flatfish are well covered.
