Now this really is a rare capture from the shore - Here is a happy Peter McGroary showing off a cuckoo ray landed from near the Downings in Donegal on  3/0 clipped down paternoster holding a mackerel bait.  Cuckoo ray have bizarre round marks in the centre of each wing. Nov 2004.			Who says there are no fish around Dublin?  Here is Ian Pearl with a recent 2.25 lb (1 kilo) Codling from a mark on Howth Head.  It fell to a black lugworm/ragworm cocktail presented on a pulley rig... Now, where did you see rocks like that before in Howth? Nov 2004.
A mark that never gets the credit it deserves, its Ian Pearl again with a nice fat flounder from the beach at Dollymount on a sunny September day.  This fell to ragworm presented on a three hook flapper.  Sept 04.			That man is at it again!  Have a good look at our rarest and smallest flatfish, the Top Knot.  Ronald took this one from a small pool in amongst the boulders at the back of Bangor Pier at low water on a size 4 hook baited with mackerel and fished on the bottom.  Nov 04.
For those of you complaining about small fish on the east coast, here is a Wicklow Tope taken from the shore in Dec 03 by Philip Fox. It exceeded the 60 lb maximum on his scales and was taken a mackerel bait. Btw, Philip is over 6 foot so that gives you an idea...			Here is a fine Blonde Ray from Sean McKay' sboat out of Ballycastle, one of thirty four taken on the day,  Uel Moore is the happy angler holding the best fish of the day at 29 lbs.  A squid, mackerel and launce cocktail on a flowing trace did the trick.
