Default Are Stingrays Legal Gamefish?
New to saltwater fishing and lord knows I would just assume be no where near them but if you catch a stingray can you keep it? I can find no regulations on them. I've seen videos of people cleaning them and see that a 185lb one is possibly a new state record for us. This may be a stupid question but I would rather be safe than sorry. I definitely don't want to be giving the state anymore of my money via fines.lol

Don't tell Duck Butter there is no limit on sting rays.

Next you know they'll be proposing a limit of 5 and a minimum size of 18" (sexual maturity.)

After all, true conservationists will want to get ahead of this thing.

Where's the CCA? Doesn't that stand for the Coastal CONSERVATION Association?

We have trimmed the meat out of the wings, fried and actually enjoyed quite a bit. Stingray doesn't taste bad at all. The worst tasting fish in Saltwater is a hard head to me. I haven't tasted bluefish, Jack Crevalle, Bonita or Banana fish, and they might give hardheads a run for their money.

I've heard that the meat is good, but I haven't figured out how to safely get one into the boat and into the ice chest, much less cleaning the thing. The risk/reward thing is all wrong in my mind. We cut the line and don't mess with 'em.

(Don't tell CCA, they'll pass a law making us unhook and release them without the cruel lip piercings.)

MathGeek is on the Warpath today! And I like it!

I've caught a couple in the lake but didn't keep. Cut the line and threw it back. Don't wanna be the next Steve Irwin.

If we catch one I was planning on using the rod to hold his tail down and do a one swing surgery with a sharp machete. Rednecks doing things for the first time can be quite entertaining.lol

Net it. Through it in the ice chest and close it. Cut the line and continue fishing. Then when you get home and cook it let use know how it's comes out. I pretty curious on how it taste.
