1st sting ray hunt & success

[Friends call me Pac]

I went home to NC to visit my family.  While I was there I asked my brother to take me gigging for flounder.  As we loaded up his boat I put my bowfishing rig in the boat.  He asked why was I bringing my bow and I told him I wanted to shoot a stingray if I saw one.        

As luck would have it I saw several but only shot these two.  I had no idea what they tasted like so I did'nt want to shoot everyone I saw.  No need to kill just to be killing if they turned out awful.

I had to go on the internet to find out how to clean them.  It was very easy and in just a minute or two I had 4 great looking fillets.  I then cut them into smaller bite size pieces.

We cooked them up with our flounder we had gigged and also had a gar that I had shot while bream fishing.  I knew the gar would be good but the rest of the family was very doubtful.

I took the first bite of sting ray and was very delighted to find out it really did taste like scallop.      The rest of the family causiously sampled tiny bites themselves.  After the 1st sample of gar and stingray it was on.

After the meal was over I was suprised to see the sting ray and gar was all gone but 2 flounder remained untouched.

Looks like a great day and feed was had by all.  You just found a new sport.  Next time you will have to arrow a few more for the fish feed.

That's really cool Pac!!

Some folks need to learn what's good and what's not.

I figured that out a long time ago when someone(mom) tried to feed me "southern tofu"/grits..lol

Good shooting. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

God bless, Mudd
