The rough weather has encouraged a few ray to move close inshore with small eyed ray, spotted ray and blonde ray tempted.
Autumn nights give the chance of a wide range of species with ray, tope, conger, bass and Huss all on the agenda. Shaun Quartly fished a wet and windy night at a popular Ilfracombe mark and caught a small eyed ray of 8lb 10oz.
