Thornback Rays, Skate, Roker - Boat Fishing Rigs, Tips & Tactics!

This entry was posted on 3rd May, 2017

For this latest episode we headed back down to Essex to fish with our good friend Phil White, aboard his boat the Chinook III, with one species in mind, the Thornback Ray or Skate/Roker as it’s also known.

The spring months can be an excellent time to target these fish and with a lack of Codling this year they have provided some welcome sport for the boats and anglers fishing the Thames Estuary.

To find out exactly how we got on and to find our a little more on how to target the Thornback, watch this latest instalment from the waters edge.
