Stingrays swim with a "flying" motion, propelled by motion of their large pectoral fins (commonly mistaken as "wings"). Their stinger is a razor-sharp, barbed, or serrated cartilaginous spine which grows from the ray's whip-like tail (like a fingernail), and can grow as long as 37 cm (about 14.6 inches). On the underside of the spine are two grooves containing venom-secreting glandular tissue. The entire spine is covered with a thin layer of skin called the integumentary sheath, in which venom is concentrated.^[1] This gives them their common name of stingrays (a Portmanteau of "Stinger" and "Ray"), but the name can also be used to refer to any poisonous ray. A group or collection of stingrays is commonly referred to as a "fever" of stingrays. Since their eyes are on top of their body and their mouths on the bottom, stingrays cannot see their prey. Instead, they use the sense of smell and electro-receptors, similar to those of the shark. They feed primarily on mollusks, crustaceans and occasionally on small fish. Their mouths contain powerful, shell-crushing teeth. Rays settle on the bottom while feeding, sometimes leaving only their eyes and tail visible.

The Mackerel has Blue-green, zebra-like, striped markings. Mackerel are surface feeders like the Garfish. Mackerel can be found during the summer months shoaling close to the shore in search of fry in large numbers. Baits: Mackerel will except most baits even a bare hook at times! but a strip of fish generely works best. you will see most sea anglers though using up to 6 feathers to catch these from the shore and filling all hooks with fish at times!.
