How are ya joe. Fished around lettergesh on paddys weekend and got a few ray. The sea was calm and we tried scratching for flats but got nothing. With a bit of surf though it throws up flounder and small turbot. All the ray came to sandeel from 80 - 140 yds.

Each to their own. We were using 2/3 hook clipped downs with long snoods for the ray and dogs. Tried wishbones, up and overs, flappers etc for the flatties but they were having none of it that day.
