east coast ray

#1 Post by ShaneH »

people: myself and john

duration: 9 till 3

tide: out then in

bait: sand eel and squid

rigs: up and overs

results: ray dogs hounds and a whiting

headed out for a quick ray bash last night got to the mark around 9 set up the two rods hopes were high but then the dogs came on the feed big time :evil: then john picked up a small hound on a squid bait which was a nice change from all the dogs then i noticed that one of my rods wasnt getting any bites which was strange cos all the dogs so i taught to myself ray so i picked up the rod and lifted into what felt like a good sized ray it had my conoflex nemesis plus doubled but i was wrong about the good size bit i couldnt believe how small it was when i got it on the beach it felt like some of the big ray i have caught but it was just bigger than my hand :? but it was still a ray we had a few more cast after that but we got noting but dogs so we called it a night

Well done Shane and John 8) It makes a nice change from going after the hounds all the time even although your good at that. That wee ray is class looking - don't worry about how small it is, size isn't everything :wink: nice pics and report, well done boys.

Good one Conor :lol: I can just see it now, although we wouldn't do such a thing of course (before someone shouts at me for saying that) that would be cruel :lol:

An East Coast Ray is good capture, no matter what the size. Well done Shane.... Hopefully the next one will prove that you have normal sized hands :wink:
