cuckoo rays antrim coast?

#1 Post by Beetlejuice »

Hi there guys I'm pretty new to this site and seen lately that a few people have been catching cuckoo rays off the antrim coast! I'm heading up with the family next wknd and would love a bash at them, just hoping someone could point me in the right direction of where they could be a possibility, I'm not expecting anyone to give away their marks but a nudge in the general direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!!

The marks that produce them only hold 2 ta 3 anglers at the most if the marks were given out the anglers that are catching them wont be able to fish there own marks :(

Which, with a little bit of research and a bit of effort should be enough to point you (and me) in the right direction. Very rarely will people give away all their secrets, and half the fun is finding the fish yourself.

I've still got a few weeks before I get there, but am looking forward to a few days driving up and down the coast to hunt out likely looking marks for stuff like this. Nothing like getting down there at low tide and looking for places to fish, get bait and generally finding out what places are like.
