any breakwater near you, normally the sheltered side! get a sack of rubby-dubby in the water to encourage them.
best when the mackeral are about! not familiar with your area but most breakwaters should have them. i know arklow breakwaters served me well for years with some biggies! haven't tried there for years but should be still good!!!
