Ray east coast....

#1 Post by myworldfishing »

Hi all..

I know some people will laugh or look funny at this post but I want to do a bit of Ray fishing.
I have never caught one and I need to pop my Cherie, so heres the question.......

Can anyone advise me on a half decent Ray mark between Dublin and wicklow?

I caught a spotted ray off kilcoole last year and I am led to believe wicklow harbour is a half decent spot for thornies.......I think!

north beach Wicklow or Ennerially but to be honest it will take a lot of effort. might be better planning a trip to the west of Ireland.
