Clearnose Skate

AKA: Family: Rays / Skates

The Clearnose Skate is characterized by a tan or darker body and may have spots or darker patches. They are flat and have wings used for swimming similar to the Stinray. Their tail is shorter and sturdier than that of the ray and doesn't spikes. As his name implies his nose has clear or transparent flaps along its side.

These "fish" are found near shore or inland on the flats foraging along the bottom.

Shrimp pieces or cutbait are the best natural bait, while artificials are not used when targeting these "fish".
