Report:

An early start left us with a clear run the whole way to the venue and all was going well until we got to Londonderry. “Did you know you were doing 66mph in a 50” Not a good start.
There were already anglers on the beach so a speedy unpack was needed and after quick walk to the mark we had rods in 20 minutes early. Unfortunately there was a bit of weed in the water only rivaled by the waters of the Solent. The first fish did not show for over 2 hours when a Ray of 3lb 14oz was landed by me and after this a few bites started to show. After some missed bites another Ray of 5lb 1oz was landed by Stan. After this only a few small flatties put in an appearance leaving us a bit disappointed with the lack Rays.

The rays dont seem to be there in any great numbers yet.

[beachcaster]

dont know why but the rays are definately not there in the numbers they once where.unless it has something to do with the weed in the water!!!!

[rodbender]

Well done lads. The rays are not in in the numbers they usually are. This time last year you could hardly keep them off the hook.
