Kinsale

#1 Post by Its Ofishal »

Heading to Kinsale monday and tuesday looking for a shark or two on monday and then a bit of mixed fishing tuesday and given that Ive never caught any ray other than thornback would anyone have any rough idea where I might break my duck on any other type of ray.

From the species list on this site it says that most rays are caught over the same ground, relatively shallow sandy clean ground!

Blonde Ray: https://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/ray ... blonde.htm

Undulate Ray: https://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/ray ... dulate.htm

Small-Eyed Ray: https://www.sea-angling-ireland.org/ray ... ainted.htm

Also looking at the charts, I think you might have better luck on the other side of old kinsale head in Courtmacsherry bay where there are some shallow sand banks!
2025 shore species: Bass (1), Dogfish (1), Flounder (4), Whiting (4)
