Went Bowfishing for Rays a couple weeks ago.
Thought I'd Post some pics. This was my first
trad kill, since I was a kid shootin squirrels
and such
We killed 5 all day, and spotted 23 or so.
I got 2, and Dennis shot 3.
We were with Rob Davis

Very cool...being a inlander not sure if this is a stupid question or not. Are the eatable?

Kentuckey TJ,
Actually they taste pretty good.
I cubed them, and rolled them in flower,
and old bay seasoning then fried them....
They weren't bad., but they taste better
cold the next day out of the fru=idge.

Eric, do you realize who you were really fishing with?

Rob Davis is in the Maryland Bowhunters Hall of Fame. That guy has some serious "creds". He has done a ton for bowfishing, and archery in general in Maryland. Nice rays, but dang! I'd be honored to spend a day with Mr. Davis, and never even pick up a bow.

I hope you realize you were in the "presence of greatness".

Jim,

Yep, I am very aware.
I already wrote an article
for Rub & Scrapes about it.

Are those 2 different species or do the large ones lose the "pointy-ness" of their wings?

Wings are good on them, like has been said cude or cut into strips.

The Ray that Eric is holding is a Southern Ray which can get up over a 100Lbs. And the one that the other fellow is holding is a Cow Nose Ray, that can get up to about 60+Lbs or so.

If anyone close to me is interested, I want to do the same in DE next year. I live right on DE Bay and know a couple hot spots. None of my friends seem interested although that will change when they hear how fun it is. PM me.
