There hasn't been much to report for a while but did manage a trip out on Friday 14/5/21
We had been planning a trip with Dave from Cardigan Bay Fishing Adventures to target some rays as there are very few in his area and to hopefully film some footage for his Youtube channel. Friday the weather was looking ok to get out so Dave managed to get the day off work and we were set.
An early start for Dave saw him leave around 6 am for the drive to Swansea.
We launched around 8.30 and was greeted with a nice flat sea, we headed east and were on the mark around 9.
Lee the dogfish king was bang on form again getting a dog after around five minutes and five minutes later Dave was into something decent, It was a fair struggle in the ripping tide. It turned out to be a small eye'd ray coming in backwards. Big smile for Dave and a bigger sigh of relief from me.

A great start and not long after Dave then had a thornback
We had a few dogs too mostly for me but i did manage my first ray a small spotted
Dave had a few more small eyed's i had more dogs. We had a bite to eat one of my Scottyano special bacon and sausage rolls then we pulled the anchor in to move to another spot in search of some blondes.
Soon after we were into the blondes and it was an unbelievable few hours of fishing we must have caught 40 plus blonde rays biggest going 11.5 lb for both Dave and myself. Dave caught a lot more rays than myself (i was just keeping the dogs away for him)
