Yeah Flench I love fishing reds but freaking rays are a pain in the hind end!  We wade out of the boat a lot and i used to wear ray boots but they are so heavy that I just wear rattlesnake guards now.  Hopefully I never step on HUGE ray. lol

Amazing bug! I like to blacken them or grill em.  If I'm gonna grill them I will fillet them on the half shell. Season with garlic,cilantro and lemon juice and slap onto a hot grill. When you press down on the fillet and see no moistsure take them off and push a steal spatula between the meat and skin. the fillet will slide right off. :rock

Blackened ....well i guess that's the same all over.

I don't know if you saw this pic Flench but this was my best day this year.  The blacks fight harder IMHO but reds taste better! lol

I never caught Reds, but I hear the action is fantastic. Back in the '80s I used to travel to Montauk Point NYNY and fish night blues off of the Viking Starship. One 2 day trip me and another guy caught 76 big night blues. The 10 or 15lb chunkers that will take a finger off. It was the closest I ever came to catching fish till I didnt want to catch anymore. The night blues come in ravenous schools and the deck of this huge boat looked like a slaughterhouse.
