Managed to clear some free time after a load of mundane things like old dear breaking her hip and leg and all that that entails. So picked up some bait from west coast angling in watchet, cheers Steve your a legend and hit the beach for 9 with low just before 12. It was hit and the wind dropped right out and the water was fairly clear for the channel. ![IMG_5026.jpeg IMG_5026.jpeg](https://tsfforum.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/data/attachments/65/65778-925eaa6eb9bd29bfd8b6d8754d1999b8.jpg?hash=kl6qbrm9Kb)

One rod with fish baits for rays the other with crab or cocktails of crab/squid.
Things were quiet with nowt showing for the first couple of hours with baits untouched which was a bonus as it meant no doggies about at last. Just on low had my first knock and let it develop and in came this little fella![IMG_5028.jpeg IMG_5028.jpeg](https://tsfforum.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/data/attachments/65/65780-af7688df3edabee75fef36f1f96286eb.jpg?hash=r3aI3z7avu)
Not the ray I was expecting and the first one from there for me for a while.
Not long after off went the ratchet on me crab rod and an angry hound between 5-5.5lb said hello. A little while later another smaller one which I didn’t take a pic of. Didn’t see anyone else bar a dingy sat just in casting range with a couple fishing.![IMG_5030.jpeg IMG_5030.jpeg](https://tsfforum.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/data/attachments/65/65781-557213e8e0b32c7cdfc2f661e4ec4deb.jpg?hash=VXIT6OCzLH)

Wrapped in not long after was a nice little session just nice to get out and chill but also watch a pair of peregrine’s with a fledgling work the cliffs and calling.
