What specific bait is best to use catching stingrays. We have house up north of you in Gulf Harbours by Anclote and we see a lots of them in the canals out to the gulf
you shouldn't handle a stingray through those "holes on the head like a handle". They are called spiracles and you can damage them quite easily. Without them they cannot ventilate their gills.
Ben: I enjoy watching your clips here on youtube but I think you may want to re-think telling people to land "stingrays" by hand like this. What happens if some guy tries to grab a southern stingray like this and gets a barb thru his hand? The southerns barb is further down its tail and they can whip their tail and stick their barb the length of their body & then some. You may want to defferntiate between the cownosed and the more dangerous southern stingray. Killed the croc hunter right?
Capt., I don't know that much about the rays. Are you saying that the tails can't hurt you at all except for a little whipping? Just the barb you removed.
so the technique is find a school of them and snag?? I found out the hard way.. Using a net and catching a few.. Anyways once i was at sebastian inlet, I saw a ray with pokie dots.. Didnt know it was an illegal species! A spotted eagle ray which is federally protected, I caught one 100-150lbs took 5 people to bring it up from the catwalk and was released right afterwards when a gentleman told me that it was illegal. Anyways i caught the smaller one of the 2 which i think is a male.
Snagging works but for catch-and-release use pieces of freshly cut Threadfin Shad, Mussels, or Clams on jigheads under bobbers and sight-cast. I release them tho
Were you catch them at?
