Most species of Rays have mighty jaws consisting of several rows of blunt teeth. This, paired with its ability to dig into the weed bed, can make them a challenging catch. Anglers should be careful handling any rays due to the stinger or thorns. Thick gloves are advised. These are found in sandy, both shallow and deep water right above sand and mud. The best baits to use range from small fish strips releasing scent to ragworms and shellfish. A typical setup used to catch rays is the basic leger rig method. Commonly used to set hook baits, preferably circle hooks, on the weed bed with the rig. The hook and swivel need to have a distance of about 1ft, which will allow the line to pass through the weight, reducing suspicions and baiting without feeling any resistance. It is always essential to remember that rays are playful and do not bite instantly, giving them some time and not reeling back or tightening the line too early or at the first sign of movement. Tightening the reel should be done once the line is pulling away hard and consistently. Rays travel in groups once one is caught; the possibility of another catch is high, but within a time frame before the group travels again. To unhook them safely, using long nose pliers and a cloth or thick gloves, finding their barbone and holding them by the tail will be crucial not to get stung. Turning it over on its back, removing the hook using the pliers, and simply returning them into the water, carefully watching its tail.
