The guitarfish are a family, Rhinobatidae, of rays. The guitarfish are known for an elongated body with a flattened head and trunk and small ray like wings. The combined range of the various species is tropical, subtropical and temperate waters worldwide. They often travel in large schools.

Guitarfishes have a body form intermediate between those of sharks and rays. The tail has a typical shark-like form, but in many species the head has a triangular, or guitar-like shape, rather than the disc-shape formed by fusion with the pectoral fin found in other rays

We decided to go for fishing sunday morning (22nd April) but got late and only go by 11 am. When we reached munambam estuary side the sea surf was very strong and we cant stand there even on rocks and little bit cloudy a sign of big rain, and we decided to go to nearby beach and started fishing there.

The rig we used was double drop surf rig, with sardine as bait after just half an hour the guitar fish took the bait from surf and i set the hook, we just amazed to see the fish jumped and we saw the fish in water surface because of this fish used digg in to sandy bottom it took more than half an hour to land the fish to beach.

It weighted 4 kg. The photos attached for you people out there. We got some good size cat fish on the same day from the same spot. We finished our fishing section by 1 PM and returned home.

Happy fishing
