Howth
Start either at Sutton (31* bus) and the entrance to the path at the Red Rocks, or start at the east pier in Howth and walk up the hill, to reach the trail head. alternatively you can take a bus to the summit and work your way down from there, with the additional option of the Bailey lighthouse, just don't fall foul of the rules around CIL property. If you do a search on the "nose of howth" or check the shore marks, you should find details of how to get out ot the split rock. Scary walk. Tricky climb. Not done it in many many years. Not for the faint hearted. But then no rocks marks worth their salt are...
On the nose, there is a reef at 2 o'clock which used to hold good pollack (good for Dublin) and a very long cast due east to the water below the stacks and bird colony would get you excellent wrasse, including specimens. Crab and ragworm best baits. Lots of conger. Lots of dogs at low water.
HTH and post a report or two...
