Bit early for the squid, normally september before they arrive in any numbers. If you want to try the wall at Dinish Island is a good place to go.
Live out on the beautiful Beara Peninsula. Always willing to assist visiting anglers.

That's a Sepiola atlantica or little cuttlefish. Cute little guys and more common than you think. They don't grow very big.
