the alex ray hunt wed night

tried 3hrs upto high and 1 hr over hight on an evening tide. this time
not prolific but 3 thornies came to the net . biggest 5lb.11oz. paul brough 60+cm
we found its was better useing a long 2 hook soods 3/0 flapper picked up all the rays . nothing came to large pennels . clipping down the 2 hook rig gave the distance and enabled a choice of baits to be presented.
the rays were taking lug and quid wraps only last night . sand eel and macs were un touched.anyone who is anble to fish the alex wall .(permit holders.)can find most ray will be caught towards the scaffold pegs ive fished variouse pegs along the wall without sucsess. theres a wider channel at that mark and seems to hold the rays well.70rds will find em no probs .dogs are showing and soon will be in numbers as well as double figure congers.
recomended baits quid and lug wrap
a 3ft snood cip down 2 hook 3/0 rig seems best
the rays normally come on slack water but of late anytime has seen them appear .

well done paul i couldnt remember your name cheers ste for reminding me




cheers jags

Thanks for the report Jags,may give the wall a go next week sometime, with a couple of the old lags from our club.Nice to see the Raymonds showing,looking back at at our trips on the Alex around this time last year we had a few decent Rays then.
Have'nt fished that area you are talking about for a few years,mostly we fish by the steps just before you fish over the wall.

it can be funny the wall. i too looked at last years reports and i was getting most of mine to pegs right of the steps this year ive been all over the wall still missing thoses dam wings . there still plenty of time for us all to snare a few

Just stuck a pic of my ray in the gallery, first one I've caught from there. Got it on sandeel and squid wrap on a 2/0 pennel
