Today (Wednesday) I caught... - The Hull Truth

...the biggest danged bull-nosed ray I've ever seen, off Swan Point. Must have been 3 1/2 - 4' wingspan and took a half hour to get it to the boat before I cut it loose. No rocks, though. I'm still tired from that ray!. Gorgeous day on the water -- the best one all year. Not hot, not humid, a little breeze -- what more could you really ask for (except that the ray could have had stripes)?

Sounds like a nice day on the water even though no rocks. Were you chumming or trolling?

chumming. The ray took a bunker tail

Supposed to be a perfect weekend. In the 80's. How much is fuel in RH ? Is it E10 ?

I'm still running on last year's tank! Between the rains, the heat and a late start due to my trim tabs installation, I haven't needed to visit a fuel dock yet.

I have to head back to NJ today (in the rain, it looks like), and I usually avoid weekends on the water, so I'm hoping for good wx early next week.

I was surprised to see a big ray so far North in the bay's brackish water. Is this common?

oh yeah when we dont get the rain we need the salt water migrates further north into the bay and with it come the salties. including the dreded jellies!
