hi lads nice to see a few ray showing tried a few times this year with no luck.have not been out in a while will have to start getting out before weather breaks.

Hey lads it was great to see a few rays showing but the bad news is I was talkin to a commercial fisherman about that yesterday and his words were 'oh yeah there is loads of ray over there, we got 10 boxes there a couple of days ago'. I have to say that I nearly got sick. What hope have we when they are clearing out inshore marks like that.

Hi Lads

Its a shame to hear of those ray caught and the wont get that much for them they might even go for pot bait.

was watching a boat pull a net in tramore bay last summer with loads off big ray really drunk me off :evil: :evil: .all the bays should be closed off from netting as they are nursery areas for a lot of fish.
