Anyone seen any in the flats recently? Looking to catch a few for shark bait and wondering if anyone had a spot they had seen them.

two or three swam right infront of me while i was standing on the west bank under the bridge right before you get on to the island. We were just passing time and I was watching the hermit crabs along the concrete and three big rays just went cruising by. I guess they are in the shallows looking for supper!

Too bad I didn't see this yesterday, I caught one yesterday on a shrimp tail! Those suckers pull out some line! I did get it into boat. Been seeing a lot of schools of them in front of the power plant.

I have seen them hit gulps and other lures and saw a huge one at BHP hit a big chunk of whiting. Pretty awesome fight. I'm sure shrimp would work too.
