Report:
after hearing of erics ray on friday night i decided to go down and try for 1 myself , i would have liked to go with them on friday but i had a van to vandalise !! :lol: :lol: ( check the scomber :lol: )anyway had the ray on fresh peeler on my first cast and had 6 dogs after that !! i put out a ball of crab on a pully in the hope for an eary smoothie on my last cast , the rod was in the water only 2 minutes when it hoped out of the stand !! smoothie on !! i got it half way in but came off !!! was a decent enough fish judging it by the fight it put up !! defo was nothing else typical smoothie .. snatch and run !!!!!!!!!!!well nice to get out goin to hit the same spot again on monday or so ..the lads will fill in there stuff .

Is it a Cookoo ray or a Cuckoo Ray.

Here is a link with a good clear pic of a Cuckoo Ray.

From what I can see in the pic the Cuckoo Ray seems to have a dark circular area on both wings and light colored spots within this dark circular area.

The one in Boycies left hand seems to have a circular area of dark spots on the wing. I think it is just the camera playing tricks!

the spots are never that pronounced on em ,,, would love it to be a cokoo ray as i never got one
