    Hi- i don't know if anybody has tried it, but apparently there are
    quite a few large ray in Wexford harbour. (They have been netted and
    spotted from boats). A 20lber was caught last year. I haven't heard fof
    them been targetted, so I'm looking for some advice. Would
    peeler/mackeral be the right bait to use. The other thing is where to
    fish-Wexford harbour has plenty of mussel beds which are commercially
    harvested-should I try and locate them and fish along the edges?? Has
    anybody heard of anybody fishing for them here..?

    cheers

    in my experiance the head of a mackrel is best bait for ray.
    it's quite annoying to catch them as when they swim for yout bait their wings hit the line and looks like a bite.
    well crab is supposed to be good,never tried it.

    BUT when using mackrel head,the crabs will eat the eyes out and proceed to chow down on your bait :(

    good luck!it's to bad(weather-wise) to go out :(
