Rays

[Wee Ver]

After a bit of advice lads please. Where is the closest place to north east with best chance of catching some sort of ray? Also what tactics is best to use rigs and hook size really? Never had 1 b4 be good to get 1 so any help much appreciated

I dont fish for them myself so wont offer tactics but Horden always seems to do well for rays, especially last year. Was on the Heugh today lad said he had some rays.

Rays of the heugh? My local pier so no doubt will be on there over the weeks. Was thinking Horden as a local shot cheers

Ye my mate had a doggie of south gare few weeks back then another lad out the club got 1 of roker week later seems to be more turning up

Don't know venue for u as not familar with those parts,but rig wise go for a pulley dropper with a single 2/0 or 3/0(pennels seem to deep hook e'm)or an up n over,a long pulley works well too.Best to use a long hook snood as the rays don't like the feel of the graps on your sinker(long snood gives movement n keeps hook snood away from the lead).
Hope this helps u,ps bait wise try sum bluey,works wonders for e'm
