You got it. An invasion of cownose rays! When they flap those wings at the surface it looks just like the dorsal fin of a small shark. Never saw them that far up in the rivers though. As if the crabbing wasn't tough enough this season, these rays are like vacuum cleaners.

Anyone eat these things? Any good?

I have caught a single one here and there around the hook, always swimming in schools. I moved the boat to Manahawkin two years ago started fishing great bay ,little egg inlet is loaded this time of year every year, you could catch as many as you want some days. they are a fun fight but a pain nevertheless. When they are around the fluke bite is def slower...here they come

I grew up in that area of Little Silver between the Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers and have fished the two rivers for most of my 70 years. I have spent many long hours fishing, crabbing, clamming, seining bait, duck hunting and even spearing eels through the ice at Red Bank in the winter. But once you get back past the bridges;i.e, the Sea Bright and Oceanic bridges I have never caught or seen sharks in these rivers, not even little sand sharks.
