What's the regulations on keeping cownose rays? They are out and I heard they taste like veal.

If you catch one then it is yours to keep do what you want. The trick is catching one those rays they are heavy and they normally snap lines.

You'll never catch one when you target them, only when you're trying to avoid, so go fishing for something else and you'll get yourself one

To answer you question. In Virginia, no minimum size no bag limit.

The guys at the end of my street (4 feet of water out 100 yards at high tide) \used a half a crab and 20 pound test setups to catch them on a regular basis. The trick is getting them out of the water. The be careful part is the spine at the base of their tail can cause a substantial injury. If you or some you see gets spined apply water as hot as they can stand and take them to the hospital.

I remember hooking one of these. My line was 80lb braid so it held up real good. But my hook actually straightened out while I was attempting to pull it up at buckroe pier. I see a lot of Cobia fisherman tangle with these at buckroe.
