Report:went one of my favorites marks in donegal weather was just perfect, start with 2 bottom rods baited with macs and rags while tide was out, first half an hour was slow and later first doggy bend a rod and then next and few more after that, when tide riched half way i thought to try some lure fishing managed few pollacks, just around a pound nothing impresive
while spinning i'v notise that one of my baited rods was almost horizontly standing on the tripod
lucky that i was not to far away, strike and first ray of this year flipping in my hand, not a hudge but still lovely one, i took a picture releesed it free from the hook and of course let her go continue her life in ocean just couldint realise pollacks behavior as weather is right , they fed well i mean packs of sand eels scooling along the shore and polack with mackerel gordge them selfs even jumping out of the water, but they never did it on lures, even i'v try all my lures i had only few of many pollacks been cought, well imitation could be the issue, but i also had frozen eels, but still not that good, i could even see them hiding under kelps and attacing eels from there, not shore weather i did something wrong or they just ignore lures couse plenty of naural prey around
well i can still call it nice session, great warm sunny weather, few fishes, what more i could ask for?
Oh and your ray is a spotted ray.
