4/0 pulley pennels
Sandeel and mack
2 hours before LW and one after
Got nothing, not even a bite until LW
then like a light switch constant bites for an hour until I ran out of bait (bulling).
Ended up with two thornbacks. No doggies I was delighted lol!
One was fairly big the other small. Missed a few bites and one took the hook clean off. I thought the fishing be gone bad due to cold weather but I was delighted.
Sorry I don't know how to judge the weight on flat fish.

Re: Shannon estuary
You're getting the hang of it, you'll get them year round in places I'll drop you a pm on it.
If you get a mild day in winter say near 10 degree they will feed

You could always buy some weighing scales, or better still, drop a few hints to Santa! Nice fish, well done.Woulfec wrote:4/0 pulley pennels

Re: Shannon estuary
That ray really looks drunk off, the shannon thornback are full of big thorns and from the photo this one is no different, you should have a pack of band aids for your days after handling a good ray.
