What Ray?

#1 Post by paddy87 »

Hi all,

Had the good luck of catching my first ray there last week.
Didn't have a clue as to what type of ray he was though so I'm hoping someone here might be able to tell from the picture.

I apologise in advance for the picture quality as my phones camera isn't great.

Tight lines

Its an undulate ray. Chances are, you were fishing in Kerry.
UP THE DEISE!!!!!!!

If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

KStaff winning matches is the new black.
