How are the herring biting at Hillarys?

I was just wondering how herring and gardies are biting at Hillarys at the moment. I have some totally novice friends who want me to show them how to catch a feed (landbased).
So I thought Hillaries is usually good for having a crack at some herring right? If I were to head to the northern wall (around the disabled platform) lin the hours before sunset tomorrow with float rigs/burley etc... how do you think I would go?
