Report: for what its worth - went to new quay - wanted to try the far side from the pier on the channel - drove to that point where i saw a chap get a ray last year - wind gusting straight in my face - knew i would never get the cast there
so back in the car around to the pier side - fished from the point to north of the little beach into the channel
had full mack + half mack out there - strips on the second rod - and sandeels on the pulley - with nothing touching the baits not even crabs - moved onto the baited feathers
the terns were having a mad one on the top of the tide - but it obviosuly wasnt any mack they were getting
was listening to the utd match in inchicore on the radio - kept me going - used the last of the bait - the first drops of rain fell - the final whistle blew - 2-1 sweet! and i had enough and packed up
the head in the mobile home there - was asking me how i was doing etc.
said they were getting dogs pollack etc. - but didnt know about ray
