what traces were ye useing for the ray,were ye in the bay itself?sat was the first time this year we tried for ray but tried lots last year with no luck. we always anchored up saturday we were in 20-25 feet of water would you think boat noise has anything to do with it as we didnt even catch any doggies? any info would be great help. :?
