"The Dromia Rule"
Deer Stalking… reliable word of mouth recommendation from someone you know has undertaken such stalking being offered by a specific syndicate is best. Like other walks of life, stalking has its scammers. E.G., make sure there is deer, of the species sought, on the land being made available; that appropriate insurance is in place; that there is recourse for recompense if it all goes wrong. In addition, obtain and understand terms and conditions; consider the implications of allowing a syndicate leader to be a FAC mentor; make sure ‘coaches’ are suitably qualified; consider the quality of deer management, the construction & execution of a shooting plan and safety; determine if the land is over-shot.
If in doubt, contact BASC or similar.

That's right. It's a very good size for a canal too. You could get much larger in a gravel pit or commercial fishery though.

Re: Any Fishermen on here?
The skipper of the boat wouldn't allow this on board due to it having a nasty sting in it's tail. A Cow-tailed ray caught of Cairns, Australia, by me

Re: Any Fishermen on here?
Wow Bobob, how big was it?
Re: Any Fishermen on here?
I am not a proper fisherman so I will not say it was a whopper :shock:
You can see the skippers arm in the top right so it was maybe 2 feet across, with the tail, over 3 feet long.
The skipper just took one look and said it wasn't coming on board. We had such a calm day and enjoyed it so much we went back the next day. Different story. The wind had picked up and the flat bottomed boat hit every wave, killer when you have a dodgy back. It rained as well but we still finished the day grinning.
Apparently the cow-tailed ray is used for leather products.

Nice ray bobbob,
i was lucky enough to spend 7 weeks in western australia back in 2004, awesome place, inparticular a little island called rottnest and one of the bays around the island called 'shark bay' was home to loads of rays, you could see them from the cliffs by the bay. so i left the girlfriend scouting for us :lol: and we legged it down the side of the cliff to the beach, turned round and laura would point which direction the rays where.
Anyways we would run in and all the rays would swim towards us and then we would run out and so on, eventually the inevitable happened and i was knee/thigh deep in water with about 20-30 fairly big rays swimming about :|. anyway after a couple of nervous moments we all chilled out and i ended up crouching down stroking the rays for about 10 mins, i could place one hand under them and wipe the sand off the top of them with the other hand they seemed to enjoy it as they would close thier eyes !
Forgot about the 6" barb at the buisness end :G

I would sooner get down on the rocks, haul a couple of mackerel in and cook them on the shore, as fresh as they get.
