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)
