probably not a good time to go bait fishing down there. Will be packed with people mac bashing. Have had flouder and some pollack there in the past. Lots of conger/dogfish around aswell. lots of rocky areas so if you want the minispecies, scorpion fish they are all present aswell

Read my post here the dates relate to that post http://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/bull ... =1&t=43720

For wrasse and small pollack try under car park at the pitch and putt club. Calm conditions needed here.
