People:Me and two friends

Duration:15:30-19:30

Tide:LW-16:30

Weather:Calm warm and overcast

Bait:fresh mack and lugs

Rigs:3/0 pulleys

Results:Me blank, friends two stingrays





Report:Had a go at the ray today after getting 20 fresh mack the day before.Fishing was very slack except for half an hour of madness in which my friends hooked a big stinger each.John landed first stinger after a good fight and we put weight at least 25lb,10 minutes later another hooked, friend managed to get him close to shore in a foot of water but after repeated atempets to beach him he snaped the line(40lb) and was gone.
Pity as we that fish was easily 40lb.Scary stuff when ur not used to fish that size :D

Had another go for stingers today.Had two 25 and 5 pounds.Both fell to fresh mack and both were caught an hour after LW, same as yesterday.Dont think i will fish for them again, two scary for me unhooking them as they really trash their tail about when brought into shallow water.
