what i know about this beach is if your not catching anything, a move of 40 or 50 yards can make a big differance. in the past i have seen anglers fishing about 60 yards up to the right of me and not even getting a bite, were as i was getting ray on every cast, and they were useing the same bait as me.
on this beach there can be a very strong current at times, so i like good long grip wires to get the hold.
the rig is a standard pulley with one 4.0 hook, but i have the snood at around 4 1/2 foot to give it a bit more distance away from the grip wires, snood is loaded with beads and tubeing

Nice fishing lads :D :D :D

its amazing how the bit of bling can bring them on alright

good fishing, report and pics as ever

Nice fish guys.I keep promising myself a return trip.

Nice looking ray - well done.

I will have to have a go at targeting them myself soon - I must make up a couple of rigs like yours.

Know that swim............ :lol:

Looking forward to hitting again next year :wink: .

Here's my latest achievement a 56lb Tope on my wee 13ft Dory.
