| Quick session at Yaverland Monday evening and the wife was sat watching her soaps, so grabbing a packet of sandeels and blueys I went off to Yaverland for a short session in search of an Undulate which I need for the species count. I was set up by 9pm the tide was well on its way out but have found that low water is a good time to fish, so a clip down rig with sandeel went out distance and strips of bluey on a flapper on the other rod for a turbot or Brill. By 12.20am I was contemplating going home, apart from 2 little tugs I'd not had a proper bite, then a good slack line bite on the rod with sandeel, I tightened the line and waited but nothing happened, 5 minutes passed then I get a slow nodding on the rod so decided to strike. Well there was some weight but didn't feel like a Ray, but to my delight in came this juvenile Blonde Ray a couple of pounds maybe, not my Undulate I was after but a new species all the same.  I fished on till 2am but with work the following day called it a night.     |

| Re: Quick session at Yaverland Well done Davey, I'd love a Blonde (and a ray!)  Maybe we could meet up end of Sept and you could point us in the right direction... Am I right in thinking the difference between Blondes and Spotted ray is that the spots go right to the edge of a Blonde, but there's a clear band around the edge of a Spotted???  __________________ Right then, checklist: Rods.
