easy, none of the angling boats operateing out of dungarvan or helvic ever get rays/flats, if they do its a fluke

, its only one small area that we get them around, i have had plaice to 6lb.+ there, took a lot of lookin to find it, the depth drops off from about 30/40 ft. into 70/80ft., we fish in a 16ft. open boat its got nothing but an engin, no electrics/ect. it conked out last week, we had to call the lifeboat(tommy rang em

) had got it running again before they arrived, started it with a push

they still escorted us back up to dungarvan just in case. the next time we go there we will try for tope/hounds????????
