People: Dave, Alby, John, Fintan, Myself
Duration: 3 hours
Tide: 1 down 2 up
Weather: light breeze with nasty showers
Bait: sandeel
Rigs: al kinds
Results: 5 painted ray, turbot and flounder
Report:
A few anglers from Wexford on a fish hunt ask to go fishing, so it was fishing they got. After a cracking nights fishing on Tuesday on a beach in Kerry, for Bass and loads of them, we said we would try for a few ray last night and the ray played ball. Had some bass and wrasse and pollock today all on lures and some PB. Its good when things go to plan.
Thanks guys it was a laugh!

Re: Painted Ray, You Gotta Love Them..
Well done Martin lad, I caught a small lad when I was home last week, legendary boy
The finest gift you can give a fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"

Re: Painted Ray, You Gotta Love Them..
How long will the painted stay around for Martin, can you reliably target them over winter like you can in Cork?
Fair play on getting the results for the lads too
