Stingray Fishing at Donnybrook

Teamed up with the big fella (Shane) at sparrows today for a morning of stingray fishing.

Fun at the ramp. Shane rang before I arrived to warn about the queue !! Wasn't too bad but there was a shite load of boats on the water as the sun got up a bit.

Stingray fishing was sensational. I busted off over a dozen and the big fella possilbly even more. Great effort.

Oh yeh - also caught a heap of undersize whiting and bream as bycatch. Managed to bring home a mixed bag of 6 fish with a stonker 39cm ting from Shane being the best.

Excuse the crappy phone photo - but its a elbow slapper !!

Yeah love them rays, they go hard!! Pity about the pesky pickers though mate ;p

You know Funchy, we were discussing the ratio of rays to flathead in the Passage. Much easier to catch a bloody ray - on yabbies anyway. Wonder what the number comparison actually is !!

glad you guys caught your target fish lol well done.
nice ting shane

Sounds like the is plenty of sting rays down your way! Good to see you got a few keepers too

How the hell did you survive a day of ray fishing without going to hospital?

Because I am so tough !!

I r was a close call steve but the one that nearly got him had no tail

Well pete brought a box of tsnumie number 4 for 4.95 to waste instead of my $10 box of mustards lol

Damn pesky tings, getting in the way of some good ray action..
Well done fellars, and Pete for avoiding any first aid incidents.
