No, never eaten a stingray, much less know how to clean one. The locals say the snook are just now starting to show back around the beaches, lucky for us.

Got out last Saturday to a local pit and caught three keeper crappie and a bunch of small gills before getting blown off the lake. Wind was horrible when we left.

There is a line of cartilage that I cut off too. We were bummed at first catching big sting rays but soon figured we would try to eat one. Liquid courage helped the decision-making.

Little stingray caught from the beach Have you cleaned a stingray? We kept a big one and cleaned it. It was weird texture but fried up nice and was very good to eat. Nice haul. Heading down in June. Good snook fishing then. Bay scallops.

I heard the meat is used as imitation scallops, but it wasn't even close, in my opinion. I spent 10 days fishing Sebastian Inlet area, "deep sea", and freshwater several years ago. Didn't catch a whole lot to eat, but stingrays were common on the rock jetty/pier. The end of the VERY last day some guy walks up and asks why we weren't keeping the stingrays. Then proceeded to tell us that we should have been cutting the wings off to make fake scallops.

Couple new additions to the variety. Here’s a decent pompano.

And a bonnet head shark. Never did catch any more stingrays, but we did eat the daylights out of our grouper and snapper from the charter this evening. Blackened on the grill, real good stuff.

I have to go fishing at a customers when it warms up a bit. He's catching 12" Bluegill from his pond, and I expect to see an article in InFisherman Magazine this year - I got him hooked up with one of the contributing authors for it and he's been out there 4x fishing since there was enough ice to fish through. When the ice left he brought his kayak. I'm hoping to see a 13" bluegill there this year.
He's not weighing them, just measuring them. I'm going to buy him a scale like they use on the Bass Tournament where the judge weighs the bass and they release it.

Wasn’t even fair today. Just one after another. Worms couple feet down. Rooster tail for bass. Stack on a wind blown hump.

I didn't take the time to get a weight, it went back into the pond along with another female about the same length that still had her eggs.

Spent 3 hours on Glendale yesterday without a single bite. Saw 4 other boats and didn't see anyone catching anything.
Surface water temp was 52.5°.
I threw jigs, drifted jigs, and even resorted to red worms to try for bluegills. Worked still coves out of the wind and then tried the wind-beaten side without luck. Could see a lot of trees on the graph, but nobody home or just not interested.
Maybe need to hit up a couple ponds to see if I can get a few fresh ones for supper.

Dang nice fish 41 44 16.55 86 31 54.67 Oh and the Yellow Perch that I brought back from Colorado that are supposed to get to 19" in length spawned in the pond that they are in, or rather at least one skein was seen. Exact same day that a skein was seen in the Colorado ponds too.
