Wow, hate to hear that - that sucks! Just for curiosity, I am assuming since you got stuck ya'll are bowfishing while wading or either you got stuck once he made it to the boat. If you are wading, how deep of water are you in and why not use a flats boat or skiff; is that not stealth enough? I am clueless when it comes to fishing for rays, so was just curious.

no we were in my boat, in about 5in. of water. most of our bigger rays seem to bein 5-15'' of water. i would not think about wading for anything in these waters with what i have seen out there latly. thousands of small/big rays,sharks,jellys,man-o-wars, and others that seem to like bitting back.

Rover2cool · 07-19-2008, 04:46 AM

yeah we was wading near the big boat near the point haha funny thing is that we was actually walking around stingrays .. the huge one i see that is out there come st8 at us but i stomp my feet and he went away.. pretty freaky how big those things are. ill nver do that again

Can't you find something a little more challenging to kill. At least flounders will try to haul ass when they know something's up. Leave the rays alone.
