  Hello all,
  
  Just got back from an evening at Browndown….
  
  Second cast and I had what I thought was a bit of a slack-liner……started to wind in then began to think I was hauling in a big chunk of weed…..only to be delighted to find a spotted ray!! Now I really wish I had taken my scales and camera with me as I’ve just read that a specimen is around 5lb….I estimated it tonight at 6-7lb.
  Also targeted sole with size 4’s…..landed a codling around 2 1/2lb, 1 bream and a pout.
  All in all an excellent session.
  I must also mention that tonight I had the chance to use my latest purchase…a DVice…I’ve gotta say that when I set it up I thought it would never work, but in all honesty it is fantastic!! I can cast it as far as a plain lead (hence the Ray) and the bait presentation is superb. My first cast was a complete mis-cast and it went plummeting into the sea. I fully expected to retrieve and see just a tiny amount of bait left on the hook, if any. Actually, what I found was my bait was perfect!! Even the tail of the ragworm was intact. I cannot recommend this product highly enough.
  Hope everyone else had a good evening,
  
  Steve.

  Shonzy, I’ll be there around 1800 – it fished up to high then dropped right off last night and didn’t fish after. If you’re after sole then I couldn’t tell you….still trying to get one myself. All my fish came on lug/squid or rag/squid last night.

  NIce session Steve. Well done mate.
  
  Talking of D-vice’s, A bloke came up to our casting club today and asked us to have a chuck to see what we could do.
  
  Ever fancied fishing a whole squid at 185 yards?
  
  This vid is a whole Squid in a 150 gram D-vice and ‘High end’ fishing gear

  They are pretty impressive bits of kit and used in the right situation could be brilliant imho.
