lofty Posted July 27, 2013 Report Posted July 27, 2013 Saw a small window and launched off Southbourne beach at 5 am in search of an undulate ray. Every kayaker I know has had a good sized one there in the last month and I felt I had to give it a shot. As usual maccys were plentiful and in 40 foot of water I tied on to a buoy and put down two fillets on 2/0 Pennel rigs. Soon the rods where bouncing but my baits were being raped by pesky topelets. These are the new dogfish at southbourne . Then I had a couple of 3 lb bass that went back to get Alun sized. A move to my small eyed ray mark and I was joined by my chum Steve who'd driven down from Milton Keynes for a crack at the undulates. An hour later and the rod bends over and after 5 minutes my first UR at 14 lb is on board Then Steve gets one a bit bigger He continued to catch 1 more and lots of topelets I called it a day at 11 am happy with catching my target Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Mal Thomas, Kingfisher 126, Stuie and 1 other 4 Quote

Guest Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 A 14lber can be stubborn when stood on a boat, how you get them up when sitting on a yak is beyond me!! Quote
Jim Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 Well done Steve, I've never had an undulate ray yet. It's on my list. But there again most species are on MY list. Jim Quote

lofty Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Posted July 28, 2013 Our ray mark is just inshore of the outfall buoy at double dykes. We've had 10 small eyes and at least 6 undulates off that 1 area Hope that helps Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote

pirky Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 How was the video being taken at that particular time Steve... is the cam on a stick behind you going full time?? Great little vid ... Thanks for sharing !! Dave Quote
lofty Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Posted August 3, 2013 Yes it is . It's Steves camera. A go pro 3 hd . It has a remote. Lots of the wealthy kayakers have them. I have to sketch pictures from memory onto slate. charlieannear and niggle 2 Quote
