it will probably be harder on a kayak since you are closer to the water when ive gone with dan its straight down from the bow of his boat to rays in a couple feet of water and they are near the top

I use a canoe, Its a blast! You'll love it. Same rules as spearfishing apply. Those big cownose are bruisers though! They go wild when stuck. Crazy how fast they are! You'll be surprised. Have at em! :D

I got a canoe stored on Sanibel. Have any of you all done this on the Sanibel side of blind pass where the bar runs way out. I know when walking around out there I saw some rays.

Or has anybody bow fished Sani captiva???? legal???
