Cool. I will give it a try next time I hook onto one. I've caught some pretty big ones here in the bays of Texas should render a good amount of meat.

I heard that this last weekend. How do you hook them for bait? cut them up first?

Don't know about scallops but it does fry up nice. I used to keep a pair of tree limb loppers for cutting off the tails of the rays before boating them. If you keep one, to clean it just make a cut near the top of the body then fillet the wing no gutting necessary. No bones and it is white meat. Now it will look like an elephant jacked off in your ice chest

I have heard some people that have been hit by sting rays ask to have their foot/hand amputated from the pain.


I got stuck in the hand by one about the size of a dinner plate. It went in between my middle and ring finger. I couldn't make a fist for two weeks it hurt like hell.

They say the best relief is the hottest water you can stand. I wonder if the water coming out the outboard is hot enough.

No shite, i've heard that some places sell "scallops" that are no more than a stingray that has been punched like a cookie cutter

Maybe putting a hole through it's head with my Glock would be a good move before landing it...

Spot on with the water. We were at a camp miles away from any services and called poison control when i got stuck. Told us to soak in hot water and a shot of whiskey wouldn't hurt if over 21

grab the sticker with some pleyers and stick a knife between it and the tail and ut towards the body.

you could also cut it off with dykes
