deerhuntingeric,

I've never had sting ray wings, but I heard they taste like scallops. I also heard that some people use a hole punch type of tool to punch the wing meat out into round scallop-like pieces?

All I know is that they are real friendly in the water. Down in the Gulf, they swim right up to you and are just as curious about you as you are of them. I've let some really big one's (30-50 pounders) go. Personally, I don't think I could kill one. I've also heard that they cry out if you try to hurt them???? Again, I don't know. I've never tried. Let me know how they taste

Coolbrze0, A camera is a must!!!

I've fished for snook. I used live shrimp. Sting rays do not cry out. I doubt they have vocal cords.

trophyhuntr,

Actually I do have a question or two for you.

What types of fish are running around Appalachicola in early to mid April? Just to remind you, I will be doing most of my fishing from the shoreline. Any suggestions on bait/lures?

Also, any ideas on a nice reasonable place to stay for a week to ten days?

Thanks a lot,

Bn'R

Go to St. George Island, stay at Bucaneer Inn, Pompano and redfish are hot then, trout are starting then but not great, sharks are pretty good also and the spanish run starts about then

Bonita fillet is a pretty good shark bait. Spanish sardines will catch smaller sharks.
