REPORT:headed to a clean ground of the wexford coast in hope of a few plaice and ray.headed out at half 8 and was in by 2pm.weather was ok good to start with but strong north winds made the chop get bigger as day went on making it hard to anchor cos of swinging on it so drifted a good bit.headed out first stop was fresh bait and 3 stops later paul hit the first of the mackerel got a couple o dozen in no time and headed to ray mark fished it for around an hour and a half paul had two nice thornies,moved and dropped anchor in 2nd spot very poor here with only one dab for me.tried a few dirfts for plaice paul had two nice pollock and i had two thornies and a nice spotted and another dab.good day for a few hours fishing.

It was great to get out again after a while away from the boat..... Nice one on the 1st spotted ray Barry.... and your being kind by saying i had 2 nice ray...... one was a bit small... lol... but well marked.... thanks.. cant wait to get out when its a bit better for the anchor

Well done barry, nice to do some real fishing after your florida trip!!( pity about 20 deg C less in temp though)
at least you could strike the fish yourself!!
