i have to agree with you about litter being left on marks :evil: . If everyone just took 5 mins at the end of their session clear up their rubbish.

thanks man. sadly there seems to have been a group of lads fishing that spot hard since i put up the huss report :roll: . i would'nt mind so much, if only they cleaned up after themselves :evil:

cheers brian. we've fished that mark a brave few times before and never had a sniff of one. so it was great to get 4 between us in a session :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

forest wrote:well done! that looked like a belter of a session would love to get one of them rays!!!!

thanks man. it will likely turn out like our bass session on the antrim coast the other year. 6 in one session and not a sniff of one since :roll: :roll: typical :lol: :lol:

GEORGE H wrote:Hi Al
There was quite a few cuckoo rays caught last week from the same area. But they are very hit and miss. You could fish that same mark the next night and not get any.
Well done and I am sure young Jordan will get one soon enough. My own young lad loves catching rays or any flat fish ( as he likes to call them)
George

thanks george. since putting up the report i've had a few phone calls from lads who have had the odd one in that general area. so, like you said. they are about, just gotta be lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time :wink: :P
