What's the favoured bait for Ray on the SW coast?
In Cornwall its sandeel, live or frozen , you pick up on other baits but sandeel will out fish anything else. 
That's for thornie, spotted and small eyes,
Cheers
John

Re: Baits for Ray
Sand eel or Mackerel would be the best choice on a pennel rig
The Airstrip outside Bantry would be a good spot for thornbacks after you cleaned out the dogs and huss
