I would advise you to try somewhere else. Ballyquin is not worth the effort. 4 or 5 years ago it used to be a great mark but over the last few years it has been crap.
It generally fished well when there is a big surf and is best on the bigger tides. You would probably be wasting your time there tomorrow as its a neap tide and the surf is likely to be weak due to forecast light wind.

Any of the East Cork beaches will fish much better.
Cod season Winter 2013/14: 117 cod (best fish: 6.5 lbs)
Cod season Winter 2014/15: 193 cod (best fish: 4.25 lbs)

Bass Totals:
2007: 1
2008: 37
2009: 120
2010: 44
2011: 151
2012: 79
2013: 20
2014: 19
2015: 11
2016: 3
