Portsalon is a good mark for ray, if you can get the distance, isnt there a pier near by?

[Beachfisher]

Micky Joe, we dig our lug locally. We fish twice a week minimum mostly on beach's between Falcarragh and and Culdaff .

Mc Yes there is a pier nearby .It is best fished after dark in the winter months when you will get peace from the tourists , jet skiers and swimmers. It produces lsd, coal fish, whiting and the ray ( June to the end of Nov )
