Last week we took a vacation to Destin/Fort Walton FL. Got to go out on the ocean for the first time and do some bowfishing for stingrays. It was an extremely enjoyable experience. I got 4 southern rays and 2 Atlantics. My wife got 2 southerns...but she did let me have a few more shot opportunities. And as with all bowfishing, there were a few misses and some pullouts. Anyone who is into bowfishing should really give this a try...it isn't terribly expensive to charter the boat and WOW, those southern rays put up one helluva fight!
It's a little different than the bowfishing I'm used to here in TN. But I connected on my very first shot. The Captain said he doesn't really get many traditional archers but we were just as successful as other seasoned bow fisherman who use compounds.

I thought all ours were Southerns what's an Atlantic? The big 100# Southerns are great fun.

I think you are referring to the smaller one we might call them skates.

You can fillet the wings and cut out with cookie cutters for faux scallops.

Snag have you ever made a stingray casserole ? I did it with mine and my son's ray's year's ago, they made a great meal.

Way to go Brandon! I'd love to try that type fishing sometime. Lowly carp from the river and lakes can be boring, but that looks like fun.

The skates are less "grainy" than the rays imo and better eating but honestly my wife has a Korean friend who wants them whole to eat raw...so now I give them away.
