[@jozsefronai9875]

Well done Mike 🎉🎉🎉!!!! I remember my first ray they are fantastic fish I have a couple things for you first thing a great ray mark for you to try is here in valley penross head land up on the rocks next to the beach there's a car park right there follow the path on to the head when you get there there are some metal pipes cemented into the rocks great for rod holders if you see them you are on the mark and your sliding ledger rig you were using if you want to make sure your rig won't tangle when you cast it out and it hits the water reel in 2or 3 meters and that should straighten your snood out and night fishing you'll get better indication on your rods if you attach a led light to your stand your rods should light right up works great for me don't even need a tip light best of luck pal ❤

[@thatsabite]

I know that spot well 😅🤣 good spot!

[@gavindenney3365]

[@gavindenney3365]

@That's a bite my fishing buddy has been to Mostyn Dock today and has had a ray. I've only just started sea fishing all because of you and John's videos. I mostly do course, but I have really got the bug for sea. I live in wrexham, so I'm not too far from you all and hope to see you both out there. Keep them videos coming. I look forward to watching them, Mike Top Man 👌👌👌

[@thatsabite]

@Gavin denney just picked this up, I don't get notifications when people reply, sorry dude. Oh mate, that's awesome! Glad we're inspiring others to get out, that's what it's all about! Perhaps, me and John should do a notification at some point and get fans to have a day on the break water with us. Imagine that?? Loads of us just enjoying fishing on the breakwater? 🎣🎣💪

I kinda have mixed views on 'informative videos' with 'secret marks' -- Its always nice to help others catch a fish or two and by all means if you have truly found a 'secret mark' keep it (and perhaps your video) to yourself but Ty Croes is hardly a secret mark.
