Hi, Im not familiar with red rock for lure fishing but you could use spinners and artificial sandeels at the back of the lighthouse on the east pier(i think!) in howth. I use the sandeels about 1 foot behind a one ounce weight cast it out and spin it close to the seabed. This will get you mackeral and pollock. Hope this helps
