hi fire fisher
should be few rays there at night and the normal vermin all day and night, the has also been some nice bass starting to show. good luck


hi jessk9
have a look at a chart in that area and fish over a bank, plenty along sowley boom / solent banks, iv had some on the brambles and hill head at this time of year too. but i will say you will probably need about 30' or more during day time as rays only come in to shallows like hill head at night.
trick with boat fishing is to find a feature in sea bed and anchor so you fish the feature.
good luck
