This rig was specifically for alligators but the detachable float is what you'll need. This is the Muzzy slotted Aims retriever system. Others accomplish the same thing with a foam filled Gatorade bottle.

WWButcher,
They actually don't taste too bad,
It has a hint of a crab taste.
My wife even likes them.

GatorR, a skate is another version
of a stingray.  They are shaped a little
different, and do not have the poisonous stinger.
