Okay, now I know the RIGHT bait to use; anchovies. The locals say stingrays are common around where I go fishing, in fact, I've seen one. Does anybody have pics of stingrays they want to share? You've also got to be careful with their tails, I guess.

That's good to hear! I hope I'll catch some. Gonna get a nice rod soon. Can you guys recommend a size of hooks to catch them please? I'd appreciate it, use pics if you want.

Zeppelin 3k, I don't know...I wouldn't eat one. Probably release it back, after taking pics.
 
Use a circle hook. Rays constantly swim when on the hunt so most likely the ray will pick up the bait, swim off, and the circle hook will set its self in the fish's mouth.

By the way I hear ray tastes like scallops and the meat is ofter sold as scallops illegally.
