"Florida Freshwater Stingray" of the St. John's River

[Frank Castle]

I was discussing this with some guys in the fishing forum, and I found this in regards to my odd catches from over 10 years ago....as I mentioned, the ecosystem sustains catches of a mixed species bag consisting of but not limited to Largemouth Bass, Channel catfish, Spotted/Longnose Gar, Atlantic Stingrays, Bluegills/Panfish, Eels, Bowfins, etc.......all from the exact same spots.

It's just a start, but I'd like to find more info on this.....anyone here in NE FL to Central Florida?

That's amazing that they're (apparently) fully FW. Those would be amazing candidates for ponds in the southern US.

I have personally seen them while snorkeling in crystal clear rivers fed from the springs in central Florida. Pretty cool sight to see.

How is it doing? Moving to Florida soon, and won’t be able to keep getting my black diamonds
