Our season starts mid April and goes thru October which gives us a long bow fishing season. We can do half or full days for stingray bow fishing.
If you really want to try your archery skill to the max book us for a bow fishing trip for cobia! This is spot and stalk at its the most extreme! All cobia fishing is out in the ocean and weather is the key with ocean conditions. Gator rigs are recommended for bowfishing for cobia.3/4 or full days available for these trips.
You bring your own bow fishing equipment and we will put you on the fish!
The best part about Bowfishing the NC Coast is that rays are edible and delicious!!
Unlike Carp and Gar, stingrays are delicious and taste similar to crabmeat and shrimp. It is one of the few species of fish that are great to bowfish and are edible.
The meat of the stingrays are found in the wings. On the cownose rays, there is considerable meat on both the upper and underside of the wings, on the Southern Ray most meat is found on the top of the wing. Skin back exposing just the fillets, and cut along the bottom of the ray’s wing to remove the meat. On a 60lb stingray you could expect about 10-15 lbs. of boneless fillets.
For cooking, mix 1/3 soy sauce, 1/3 oil, and 1/3 lemon juice and marinates the fillet overnight. Then grill the fillet or use it to make a delicious Seafood Casserole dish, substituting shrimp and/or crabmeat for the stingray fillet.
