Undulate ray?

#1 Post by Tomaszek »

People: Me

Duration: 3h

Tide: Flood

Weather: How it should be!

Bait: Mack and sand-eel

Rigs: Pulley

Results: 2 x something that I believe to be undulate ray




Report:

Hey guys, I believe these are undulate ray? However sometimes you can see different pattern on them so I wonder if there are two species of undulate ray?

The tail of a stingray tapers down much quicker than the undulate in that picture and is almost whip-like at the end

Hi Baitdigger , I did not mean the Undulate which is in the centre of the picture , look above it and to the right and it looks like a Stinger sitting on the bottom.

Sorry I misunderstood. I blew up that section to 300% and it looks very stinger like particularly the head section and the relative positioning of the front of the wing to the head section but I can see nothing that would definitely rule either way. I believe I am seeing what I would like to see :D but the fact that the OP's base is Kerry and the time of the year plus the warm weather would lead me to believe there is every possibility it could be :D

Hi guys - thanks for your posts.

Nope, it's a bunch of weed I'm afraid.

However I did caught a small stingray a few days before (see the pictures in my blog in my profile on the site).
