Hi,
If i was you id be heading for east cork,the likes of garryvoe or ballywilling,i used to fish down there when i was in the navy,always a good place to go,garryvoe is easy to access as there is the car park close to the beach,i always had good luck by the pipe going into the sea.
Hope this helps.
Regards
John Ainsworth.
