Galway fishing

[Krusty]

Hey all, just looking for a few bits of advice if anyone could give me some shore points in galway it would be much appreciated cause not being from them parts im not to fimiliar with anywhere in galway and im heading down on saturday . Another thing is that im on the hunt for Ray any type, just have a desire to catch one and i was wondering if anyone could recommend baits and rigs that get a bit of reaction from the ray.

Thanks for any advice u can offer.

if you want a ray head to clifden,i will pm you directions to a spot that i always get a ray or 2 any time i fish it,the best time on saturday to chance a ray would be between 14:00 and 18:30 and again from 20:30 to 00:30 it gets a bit quite around high tide but you still might get one

what i use is 3 hook mackerel feathers baited with frozen mackerel,the older the mackerel the better,put on a good chunk of mackerel,quarter or a half mackerel also got some on sand eel but mackerel is best
don't use grip leads use ordinary beach bomb weights 4 or 5 oz let the bait move around
you don't need a bit cast,50 foot or more is fine
no need to strike if you see a bite sit down and let them hook themselves,wait for a good thump on the rod or a slack line
if you follow all that you will have a great chance of a ray

if you don't want to head to clifden tell me the area you are staying as i know a few more marks along the coast

pm with a map on the way
