Were to target rays and some pics of marks

#1 Post by pookie5488 »

Can anyone help me with were and what to use to target rays.

If you have pics of a mark you know what stands a chance of me getting first ray pm it or just post for me.

I have found it hard to get info via the net on them as in what to use as bait how fare of shore to cast all the basics as when best to target (time of year and day or night)

as always any help be gratefully accepted.

rays can be caught from now on,best baits makerel and sandeels the usual marks are starting to produce fish now .casting distance any where between 60 -150 yards depending on what mark you fish.pulley pennel rig will do the job or an up and over rig hook size anything from 1/0 to 4/0 will do the job.
