How do you properly feed a stingray?

Stingrays eat all kinds of benthonic animals, including fishes, mollusks (they have hard plate-like teeth that are good for crushing), sea worms, etc. \nIn captivity I've seen them eat both live animals and pieces of fish and shrimp; it's probable that they will take a while to learn to eat non-living food. \nOf course it's better to supply them with as varied a diet as possible. See the link for useful information.

You should try a 3/8 ounce jig head , Texas rig a power worm (color:tequila sunrise) and jig it on the bottom near timber....this will give the worm a fairly slow sink rate and you will get lots of bites while the worm is sinking\n\nTry to use some Rapala baits, preferably the X-RAP, gold and silver colors work the best. Husky jerks work well in spawning bass beds and weeds.\n\nAnother tip is to use a a white tube with red glitter( Venom brand) and inset a 1/16 tud insert weight and jig that on the bottom...but don't push that tube weight all the way up. by doing this that tube twitches more and attracts more fish..also use some liquid powerbait bass attractant with that.\n\nBuzzbaits work very good. so des berkley gulp!\n\nlive shiners...never fail\n\nplastic frogs work very well as a topwater bait.

Slow down.\n\nAnother one of my tricks is this - you say that you use senko worms.  Get the ones w/ about the last inch and a half flat.  Cut small circles in the flat part in the middle in a line from the base of the flat part to the tip.  Once you've done that, (you should be able to get about 3 holes), cut down the middle from the tip to the base.  Then you've cut the flat part down the middle from the tip to the base and each side will have 3 half circles in it.  This causes a different style of vibration while you're reeling and I'd also be willing to bet that no one else on your lake is doing that.\n\nThere's all sorts of things you can experiment with.  Try wrapping bubble gum around different parts of the worm.  Take a razor blade and bisect the worm from about a half inch past where the hook goes in all the way to the end.  if that doesn't work, rotate it 90 degrees and bisect those two halves where you have 4 pieces of worm.\n\nI've heard of people who will put cheerios on the hook between the eye and where it's buried in the worm.  (the exposed part of the hook will have like 5 cheerios on it).  \n\nUse a lizard and when you put the hook through the nose, run it down in there about an extra inch.  Then the soft plastic nose will actually be about 3/4 of an inch on the line.  Make sure you've rigged it to float and you can cast it into some lilly pads and every now and then, lift up on the line and it'll look like the lizard is picking its head up to look around.\n\nThese are just some ideas right off hand.  The best thing to do is to get creative.  That's another bonus of soft plastics.  They're inexpensive.  You can literally destroy one trying to figure out new ways and you're only out 25 cents.  Get a holepuncher and a razor blade and go to town!

The best kind of bait to use if you could have only one kind is a good old fashioned worm.  Crawlers work great.  \n\nOf course, there is no one kind of bait that works ALL the time, which is why there are so many other types of bait.  I have tried snails, shrimp, minnows, and worms, and worms seem to work somewhat better than the others in most seasons.\n\nIf you can't get your worm to stay on the hook, you might want to look into using plastic or rubber worms.\n\nAs for WHERE to fish, the trick to that is thinking about where the fish can hide bug still be able to jump out and find food.  This is typically on the edges of things like the edge of a dropoff, the edge of where a stream runs into a lake, the edge of the water where there are lots of tree roots and shade.

My cousin told me this little trick......pour some powdered meat tenderizer on it. I use it for wasp stings too. Usually I dampen the affected area a little so that it'll stick on there better and then I leave it for about an hour. Works for the wasp stings, should work for jellyfish stings.

Take live caterpillars.  Isolate them in enclosures with their preferred food, being careful to weigh how much is in the enclosure with each caterpillar.  Let 'em eat for 24 hours.  Remove (and release, if you please!) the caterpillars, and weigh the remaining volume of food.  The difference between the starting weight and the remaining weight should be roughly what the caterpillar ate.  (There will be some weight loss due to evaporation of moisture from the food over 24 hours, but that should hopefully be small.  You could control for that by letting some of the preferred food be in an enclosure without a caterpillar, and find the difference in weight, but unless you need really high precision, I wouldn't bother.)\n\nTheoretically, you could weigh the caterpillars--but there is an additional variable: how much excrement is excreted, which may not be the same from caterpillar to caterpillar on any given day...  Easier to weigh the food.

There is a brand of weights called Florida Rigs...they have a small screw that goes into the head of whichever plastic bait you are using...I'm guesiing you're refering to bass fishing as it's most popular with plastic baits. For a beginner start with a 7" plastic worm or lizard in either black or dark purple. Use a Florida rig in 1/8 oz. size and do what is called a Texas rig to hook the bait on (look it up on any bass site). Throw your worm/lizard out and experiment with the retrieve until you find what the fish like best ie: hopping the bait, crawl the bait slowly on the bottom, swim the bait (late season technique) etc. When you feel a tap or resistance reel down and set the hook hard. This is important as you have to break thru the plastic to set the hook into the fishes mouth. Tight Lines!!\nPS: Have confidence in these baits....I can outfish any thrower of live bait any day with artificials...it's why the pros don't use live bait.

To succesfully fill a freshwater takle box you will need the following: Hooks-some small for crappie,blue gill (sunfish) etc. some larger for Catfish - read the packages the should specify which hooks are good for which fish species. You will need some bass jigs and I recomend getting a Mepp's spinner kit. These kits usually contain several different types of rooster tail spinner baits and are excellent for crappie and blue gill fishing.\nYou should also look into getting some bait casters these are good for bass fishing. As all good takle boxes contain bobbers or corks whichever you decide to call them. You should get some different types of spinner baits and several different jigs just to mix things up a bit. After getting these thing you need to make sure you have some split shot and or some type of weight. 1oz weights will be good for most conditions but you may want to get several different weights ranging between 1/2 to 2oz. A good set of needle nose plyers is a must have-They have helped me out many times! A knife or pair of finger nail clippers is also good to have for little things such as trimming you string after tying on a hook (or a broken finger nail) They just come in handy. I always keep either water proof matches or a cigarette lighter in mine just in case and a package or two of crackers or some sort of light snack that way if I get into a mess of fish I don't have to leave when I get hungry. These are just a few things I keep in mine. I know I have more in there but I can't tell you everything with out looking.

I wold put backing soda and water..if the stinger is still in there that will bring it to the surface..\n\nOtherwise, there isn't really much else you can do..just make sure you aren't getting swollen..or having difficulities breathing cause if you are that means you are having an allergic reaction and you should get to the hospital fast..but if you had time to type in on here I'm guessing that you are okay..\n\nThe next day or two it will hurt..and then it will start to itch, just try not to scratch it..get some calamine or cortisone 10 for the itching and wait it out..

I used to keep fish. Goldfish to start with, along with Black Mollys, then got into tropical fish and then a salt water tank. It's a lot of work though, and can take up a lot of space, especially with a bigger tank and the equipment needed for a bigger tank. You want them to have enough space so they're not overcrowded.\n\nGoldfish are pretty easy and there are many ready-to-feed foods (flakes for example) for goldfish in pet stores. Get a book about goldfish (or other fish) or do research on line. Online might be best as the information would likely be more current.\n\nOther examples of "easier" fish and what they eat are:\n\n"GUPPY (Poecillia reticula):\nMiddle America: Prolific breeders. Males are very colorful. Active and peaceful. Livebearer.\nFoods: Flake Food. \n\nBLACK MOLLY (Poecillia sphenops):\nMexico to Venezuela: Suitable for beginners. Active, peaceful, eat algae. Prefers hard water. For propagation, breeding traps are recommended. Livebearer.\nFoods: Flake Food. \n\nSWORDTAIL (Xiphophorus helleri):\nMexico, Guatemala: Easy to maintain, but prospers only with varied diet. Livebearer.\nFoods: Flake Food, Color Food, BloodWorms. \n\nPLATY (Xiphophorus macalatus):\nMexico, Guatemala: Essential for beginners. Brings life and color to the aquarium. Livebearer.\nFoods: Flake Food, Color Food, BloodWorms. \n\nPEPPERED CATFISH (Corydoras paleatus):\nMiddle Amazon: Peaceful, charming bottom dweller. Feels more comfortable in an aquarium with small gravel or fine sand. Will clean up leftover food from the bottom. Scavenger.\nFoods: Tablets, Granules. \n\nSUCKERMOUTH (Plecostomus punctatus):\nAmazon: Peaceful bottom dweller. Prefers to eat at night, therefore, add one Tablet per large fish before turning off the lights. Scavenger.\nFoods: Tablets, Granules."\n\n-- http://home.ivillage.com/pets/birdssmallpets/0,,30n7,00.html

Odly enough sharks will eat just about anything. The quetion now is what can you "bait" them with. I believe and form of chum (chopped up fish parts still in the blood) is a good start. Then I believe large chunks of relatively fresh fish or seal decoys.\nCheck out National Geographic's Web page on Sharks.\n\n-Stretch

The main differance as the stinging spine on  the tail of the stingray, also (i'm not sure about this, just going on experience)  stingrays seem to prefer warmer soputh waters, skates liking the more northerly, I used to live in NY and commonly fished in Maine and Mass and caught lots of skate, but since moving to florida I have caught only stingrays. And like the guy above said, stingray tastes a lot like scallops if cooked right, don't know about skate, never bothered to eat one

A big Zara Spook, or a big spinner bait with at least a colorado blade. Big minnows or a small yellow perch would probably do well also.
