For right now I walk and I am totally freaked out by stingrays my last time out we killed a huge one and it took 4 gigs to stop his ass! As soon as me and Ron Burgundy get back from our short stint over seas he will be getting a boat so its no more walking hopefully.

The hell with a pole!!!:hotsun I troll!!! To the tune of a 101 lb thrust Minn Kota. IMO you can't cover near enough ground, fast enough poling. And if I do happen to run past one I pick up 2 more for the one that I missed.

Trolling Motor for sure.

How ya gonna be able to have a beer.....if ya gotta keep poling a boat?

50 # trolling motor, usually a little above med speed. Does great covering area quicker! I see at least 20 - 30 rays everytime.

Well I walk and have pretty good luck! Don't have a boat! Most of the time I don't have any problem with stingrays they are pretty much to them selves! I see them before they see me! There are some places I can go that boats can't get to!
