Duration:hours

Tide:coming and going

Weather:
very sunny then pissing rain
Bait:

Rigs:all

Results:went of with the lads for a ray session, and boy we where not dissapointed, i reckon we where fishing onto a carpet seabeg full of ray, we had over 60 ray,doggies,pollock,and mackeral, and to top it of a Pod of Dolphins came in there must have been about 200 of them all playing and jumping, back to the ray , the biggest of the session was 7lbs 2oz but most of the fish where close to that...
