I don't know any marks down there but I recently did a video on finding new marks and the coastal photography section may help in finding accessible rocks to stand on https://youtu.be/YFuQMwPP1bo

Re: Access to fishing mark behind Horse Island west Cork
be careful what you wish for - if all you have on offer are blanks, pin whiting, coalies and rockling (within your zone) - you might be better off at the screens, making rigs and tidying up all your gear

light gear, calm weather and braid if you can and rockling and coalies can make for an enjoyable session.corbyeire wrote:be careful what you wish for - if all you have on offer are blanks, pin whiting, coalies and rockling (within your zone) - you might be better off at the screens, making rigs and tidying up all your gear
