Pictured below are Ail and Andy who caught these two rays, as well as ten dogfish at Langney Point on bluey and squid bait from Anglers Den.
Ali's first catch of ray was all the more special as was landed on the new rod Andy bought her for Valentines Day and
she even did a dance for joy once it was landed! Great result, and great pictures!! Well Done to you both - and thank you very much for sending!!
