BAITS WERE BEING STRIPPED IN ABOUT 5MINS,WHICH WAS A PAIN,BUT ALEAST I WAS OUT THERE. BAIT USED WERE SQUID/SANDELL WRAPS ON 2/0 PENNEL.DROPPED ABOUT 5 FISH ON THE TROTT,SO ON WENT 3/0 HOOKS WHICH SEEMED TO SORT THINGS OUT. JUST AFTER HIGH WATER WHOLE SQUID WAS LASHED ON AND I WENT FOR THE BIG ONE,LAUNCHED IT OUT BEING TOWED BY A 7oz LEAD BECAUSE OF THE WIND,IT WAS OUT NO LONGER THAN 5MINS WENT THE TIP NODDED TWICE AND THE LINE WENT SLACK (COD I THOUGHT) BRINGING IT IN IT FELT GOOD,THEN GOT STUCK ON THE PEBBLES 5YARDS OUT,AFTER 5MINS OF TRYING TO GET IT OUT,IT DID A RAY OF ABOUT 5lb WAS MINE!! "SMALLEYED "I THOUGHT PICKING IT UP , NO THRNBACK MY HANDS LET ME KNOW THAT!!!! THINGS WE DO WHEN WE GET EXCITED???

5DOGGIES (ABOUT ANOTHER 5-10 DROPPED ON WAY IN)

Good sesh there m8, I'm determined to catch my 1st ray this year despite fishing for about 38 yrs. I have always fished mainly up- channel so I intend to get down the Knap and further afield this summer. Respect for you fishing in those gales.
