Wat bait were the rays caught on??

Any specific tide this beach should be fished at??

Mine was caught on straight mackerel, not sure what the other one was caught on.

From what I have been told this beach fishes best over low water.

best fished either side of and at low water from the beach, makes it easier to hit and hold in the channel.
mackerel , sandeel generally best 2 baits, squid and rag and lug and razor and herring also have taken a few fish
