When I was a kid, my older brother used to spear eels in the culvert down the road, and my Dad would smoke them. I couldn't believe that people would pay good money for smoked salmon when there was eel just down the road, and it tasted sooo much better!
Clay I guess you have to allow for parallax distortion when aiming your spear from above the water, which makes the fish appear to be in a slightly different place to where they actually are. Tricky stuff.
My dad used to go out with his friends to gig flounder in St. Andrew's Bay in my hometown in NW Florida; they'd take a metal Johnboat (a flatbottomed, wide, low-sided little skif) and hang a light at the bow so they could spot the fish and stab them with a boathook. SO tasty!
it's a pity mate sting rays are really good eating you should try it. I reckon nz is prime virgin territory for stingrays seeing as nobody seems to be eating them.They have really thick steaks full of meat and no bone only cartilage. If you decide to try it what you do try catching those at least a meter wide but not 3-4 meters wide those are too old meat is tough and probably too strong to bring up into the boat. Before you bring it up on to the boat hack off the tail with the barb you don't want that in your boat. Then carve out the wings of the ray with a cleaver or an axe don't eat the center throw it back for the sharks. Then season with sambal or your fav spicy sauce we like ours a little sweet, make sure to wrap in banana leaf to keep the meat moist and prevent it from drying out and put it on the bbq to cook. watch these videos for reference th-cam.com/video/k_58g-z9VSk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/xQyF6PuAmz4/w-d-xo.html
awesome video mate that would have been good eating. To carve out the wings just flip the ray on it's belly the white side you will see the curvature of the ribs just carve along that and remember throw away the center body don't even give to your dogs, stingrays give birth to their young live and baby rays may have barbs.
