Fishing at Burraneer
Hi guys,
Just a quick update. Went fishing again last week with the boys at Kirkplace :D
Caught a stingray!
Bait I used? Live worms. Yep, I actually cut up the worms while it was still squirming around and threaded it through my hook. It was weird though. We were about to move our spot on the boat when I just decided to reel my line in, thinking I didn’t catch anything since I didn’t feel any bites.
While reeling it in, it just felt heavy. I thought I caught onto some rocks or something. Suddenly my rod bent downwards like crazy and I was like “Whoa!”. Lucky I brought my net otherwise I would’ve lost it as my line wouldn’t have managed that weight.
First time I’ve ever caught a stingray and I didn’t know what to do with it – no idea how to cook stingray. Would be awesome if I knew how to cook it Malaysian style. So I just cut the line and let it go, for it to live to see another day.
Was a crazy day. My friend Steve reeled in a crab using a fishing rod (what the?). Haha, too bad we didn’t get the net out in time and it let go of the bait.








Nice Danny! Looks like a big stringray I am yet to catch one!
Hey Trent, didn’t know you visited here hehe. It was probably about 30cm across. Wasn’t too big – no idea what’s the legal size for stingrays.
