Re: more connemara ray9-8-10
That is what I call a first class fishing session, if I caught 23 ray in a year I would be happy nevermind in one day
Well done fella's, that was a session to remember
Great pictures, it looks like a great wee spot. Keep up the good work!

Re: more connemara ray9-8-10
nice one tight lines... pleanty of ray around that mark alright.... one qiuck hint about fishing ray from that mark is ,, if you close your barbs on your hook it is alot easier to get out of the ray and no damage done..plus out there once you hook a ray you are retreiveing from deep you will not loose your fish... i have been fishing that way myself this year for ray and no problems..... nice report and photos.....
