Ray question

[mumszie]

This might be a stupid question but.... I know you should "shuffle" your feet and move your coil when hunting in the water because of the rays that like to bury themselves in the sand and you might step on one. Now... if you were hunting where there is a lot of seaweed and muck would the same be true? Do they bury themselves under that stuff? I am a little leery of hunting in that stuff anyway but I think there may be some good stuff lost there too. I just want to be careful when hunting in that stuff. So I am asking the experts!

OH yeah and to all you Dade County hunters.... remember I told you I used to live down there and I drove a bus? Well I came across the pictures... just remember this was back in the 70's and I do NOT look like this now. My nickname used to be "Wonder Woman". Ahhhhh those were the days! Unfortunately I didn't MD back then either... too bad!

I spent several years working and fishing in the oceans and bays up here. Always shuffle your feet and wear some kind of footwear.

As for finding keepers in the muck, I would think that swimmers would stay away from those areas for the same reasons we all do, yuck.

Awesome pictures from long ago.

My little girls (6 and 8) always ask "Did Mumzie find anything today?" so please keep posting the good and the bad.

I do wear dive boots and I don't like the muck, however, I've seen people many times get in innertubes and mattresses etc and float around dipping their hands over the side which makes me think that they may have lost a few rings. Maybe not I just was trying to use my head about that.

i learned this from ron lord stomp your feet every couple of feet to warn them also summer you dont have to worry about rays the water is warm they will get quickly.but when the water gets colder be warned thats when people get stung.ive been stung not a fun time "only" thing that helps is hot water i did not have any so i stuck my foot under the hot heater in my truck that kept the pain at bay
