nice fishing pete.

BUT are you sure it was a small eyed/ painted ray :?:

have done a lot of fishing down there and never seen or heard of one down off cahore.
only ever had them down south wexford/ waterford/cork.

Was fishing with m.b3 off the site when he caught one off ennereilly a couple of years back. First and last one I ever saw on the east coast but a painted none the less.
