If you mean south east then Any of the south Wicklow Wexford beaches August is the best month. bait squid sand eel and a up and over rig you will need a good cast to get to we're they are feeding 120+ real yards not fishermans yards Then pray the dogfish are not on the feed.
Or if you mean the sea then go west
