went fishing last Sunday 14th parked at Beachwood golf course road end and walked south about 1.5km down the beach saw a break between the sandbank in front about 60m from the beach started fishing with mixed grill sardine and chokka on a no 2 hook at about 10.30am was getting eaten off from small fish, then much later at about between 13h30 and 14h00 I changed to red eye sardine with 2/0 hook and started getting some runs, consistent occasional pulls so I picked my rod up out the holder and there was a weight on the end started reeling in and realised I was actually on and struck hook in and started bringing it in was more just a heavy weight till got him near the waters edge in the breakers and started to fight and run saw the tail and wings in the water, I battle to land it because of its weight and size and the beach slant into the water so steep and water strong backwash had to wait for water to wash up to drag it up the beach, got it half way up the beach but being on my own sukkeled to hold it from sliding back in the water and trying to turn it over to remove hook was just about impossible, I grab the line to pull him higher up the beach but it was to heavy and line snapped leaving hook in his mouth(hope will be alright felt terrible) he slid back into water and swam away, it was a Blue stingray and I honestly reckon between 15 and 20 kilos(no bull) and I browsed in my common fish book Rudy van der Elst states the record is only 24 kilos so now I know why I sukeled. Anyway long story short caught another Brown stingray +- 5kilos and had 3 other big runs unsuccesful to hook so had a excillirating and busy 3 hrs till 16h00 then went home.Sorry no photos
