the ray are usually gone by now,

you could try the wall by the trout fishery, not too far from the airport

yeah, the sea wall around the area, or down at the sea wall at ballykely or roe mouth could be worth a shot, although the bigger number of flounder may now be gone, still worth a shot, normally most sucessful baits are lug and crab.

sorry minty but the ray at fahan have all gone bye bye's for now :cry:
wont be showing up again till march.
the area's mc and bigphil have mentioned would seem your best bet, if you want to travel a bit more you could try benone/downhill.
were ever you go, best of luck...
