Fishing At LEE ON SOLENT Arcades - Tough Winter Sea Fishing UK

#seafishinguk #sportfishing #fishing
Winter can be a good time for sea fishing for rays, depending on your location and the specific species of ray you are targeting. Rays are generally found in coastal waters and can be caught year-round, but their behavior and availability may vary depending on the season.
Here are some tips for winter sea fishing for rays:
1. **Choose the right location**: Rays are often found in sandy or muddy bottoms near the coast. Look for areas with structures like sandbars, drop-offs, or rocky outcrops where rays may be feeding.
2. **Use the right bait**: Rays are bottom feeders and are attracted to fresh bait such as squid, mackerel, or fish fillets. Make sure your bait is secure on the hook to prevent it from being stolen by smaller fish.
3. **Use the right tackle**: When targeting rays, use a strong rod and reel with a heavy-duty fishing line and a weight that can keep your bait on the bottom where rays are likely to be feeding.
4. **Be patient**: Fishing for rays can require patience, as they may not always be actively feeding. Allow enough time for the rays to find your bait and take it.
5. **Handle with care**: If you catch a ray, handle it with care to avoid injuring yourself or the fish. Rays have a barb on their tail that can cause injury if not handled properly. Use a de-hooking tool or a pair of pliers to safely remove the hook.
6. **Check regulations**: Make sure to familiarize yourself with local fishing regulations and any catch limits or size restrictions that may apply to rays in your area.
Remember that winter conditions can be harsh, so dress warmly and be prepared for cold and potentially wet weather. Stay safe while fishing and enjoy your time on the water!

Brilliant videos mate. I love the faith in Hayling. Massively underrated. Has anyone ever caught a Ray at Sandy Point?

[@SouthCoastDangler]

Yeah man I agree! Always quieter than Portsmouth side too, I prefer it

[@SouthCoastDangler]

I’ve never seen a. Ray out of there but I’m sure they come though

Siuuu

Looking like a lovely calm day even though you said 30mph wind so it lucky the winds not running your session. I don't know if you recall me asking about bait impact shields but I watched a 1 minute video on how to use them and it's so easy but then the way people rig it and explain it in other videos over complicated it. Will you be out over the holiday weekend??

[@robbieallan6522]

I bought a bo full of tackle for 20 quid absolute bargain for the amount of lures hooks etc and theirs these golf ball size plastic feeders with 4 hooks ready attached and just wondering if you'd ever used anything similar?? They are definitely sea fishing gear.

If you want to try something different, try doing a match. Good, honest video as usual though mate 🎣👍

[@SouthCoastDangler]

I would love to tbh, but I’m a chef and don’t get the time off when the matches happen, maybe in the future!

Good news on baits r us getting another unit

[@SouthCoastDangler]

Yeah for sure!

[@Geneticlyinsane1]

hard going out there at the moment with the transition for the winter stuff to the summer , I still reckon the ray fishing is going to get better before we get to the hounds if we can get some settled weather that is

[@SouthCoastDangler]

Let’s hope so aye!
