Back in the late '70s we were running to Calcasieu rock and was just south of "oil city" when I saw what looked like several acres of brown plywood sheets floating in the chop. I assumed it was a load of plywood that somehow fell off of a freighter. When we got closer it became evident that it was a very large school of manta rays all heading in the same direction...like a mass migration. There must have been several hundred rays. They were all at least 6-9 feet across. I was worried that wee would bend a wheel if we hit one. In many years of offshore fishing since then I have never seen such a thing again.
