ray

never caught a ray goin to get one this year hopefully , need help with marks ,bait ,rigs etc appreciate some pointers thanks

Head to the estuary altho its all thornbacks there you should have no problem gettin one... good variety of ray species in tralee bay but i havent fished it so dont know tactics etc ....

what size is that one you are holding up, can't remember, I think I took the pic.

u did thats the 13lber during the summer i got..

John: (quote/unquote) "u ba*ta*d, u p*ick why cant i catch one like that"

if i remember corectly!!

do u mean the shannon estuary and whats the best bait 2 use

enneireilly throws up a few every year mainly spotted and thornies,,,,,

but i did very bad last year myself with ray to be honest had a few from enneireilly and 1 of killiney and 1 of dunlaoighaire east pier,,, that was it really from the shore

I caught quite a few nice rays last year on Fenit Island’s beach in Co. Kerry. I was using mackerel stripes as a bite. Fishing during ebb and low water in evenings when ray becomes most active.

do u mean the shannon estuary and whats the best bait 2 use

ya the shannon estuary sorry. mackerel is a good bait fresh or frozen, squid cocktails or in my opinion for the bigger fish mack& lug on a pennel rig....

cheers lad ,do u know of a place on the estuary called glynn :?: dad said he fished it years ago and was a very good mark, he cant remember where it was though ,probably had a dozen guinness in him at the time the old git :?

If your going to travel Dingle, Tralee, etc.. for the rays read through this site. Great fishing down there

Also read his catch reports for the time of year you will be going

When your down there pick up a copy of Bob Moss's book. Gives details of great marks
" A Guide to Shore Angling on the Dingle Peninsula"
