ive got the oppertunity to go to the eastern shore and bow fish for rays and skates and would like all advice and tips on the bow fishing set-up i will need.
thanks, chad

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.

Oops you can see the Aims retriever on the bow my son is holding in the background.

Bear Polar is what I use.
Good luck.

are they good for the garden or the table?

what is a skate?

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.

thanks whitetail

and actually in alot of restaurants when you think your getting scallops....its ray.
