LostPiker Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Now we have a handful of trips in the boat we have had a good mix of species, Bass, Bream, Doggies, Conger, Whiting, Gurnard and Hounds, one notable missing one is a ray. Any tips for a good spot in the Solent area for a ray? thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintly Fish Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Most marks in the Solent will produce rays. Mainly on the flattish mud or sand patches. Calshot/Lepe is good. Or Hillhead to Lee on Solent. JonC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, Leo's whopper undulate a couple of seasons ago came from near Lepe if I remember correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You certainly make up for it with the dogfish though👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but that was a bit further west.But I've had them from the bramble bank and from the beach at hill head etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
