heat wave and rays

[lugworm]

with this heat wave coming (if we get it) would it be a good time to target ray????????

I don't think heat has much to do with ray fishing. Concentrate more on time of year state of tide and location

[gfkelly1969]

the heat wave means calm and warmer seas and the ray will move in to some areas,so you will have a better chance at some marks,the cold weather will make the ray move to deeper marks,if you know the marks where the ray move to in winter you can catch ray all year round in Galway

[ShaneH]

If its the east coast or south east a heat wave wont help your ray fishing you just have to fish the right time of year

[ronanohal]

Any idea if they're around the southeast this time of year? Only caught them rarely and think it was late summer

[ShaneH]

Late summer is the best time to get them but you mite get one or two around june July
