Thornbacks meath coast??

#1 Post by Chris T »

Walking on Gormanston beach the other day I spotted 2 Thornbacks Ray egg cases, along with the usual dogfish ones. I was just wondering have people seen these or Thornbacks in this area in recent years, or could it be that they're making a comeback??

Seen a good few ray cases down gormo last week ,would say they were just washed in as it's very shallow for ray around the neck of the woods.

I think they are making a comeback quite a few being caught in north dublin bay.

I have not fished in two years hoping to change that this year with anything ?
