The Whitespotted Eagle Ray (Aetobatus narinari) is an impressive sight in the coastal waters near Topsfield. This majestic creature is instantly recognizable by its flat, diamond-shaped body with a dark greenish-gray to black upper surface decorated with distinctive white spots. The underside is predominantly white, creating a striking contrast. What truly sets this ray apart is its duck-bill-like snout that extends forward from its head, used to probe sandy bottoms for prey. These rays are often spotted gliding gracefully through the water, sometimes even breaking the surface in spectacular leaps. While not a targeted game fish, encountering a Whitespotted Eagle Ray is always a highlight of any offshore fishing trip. These rays typically measure between 70 and 132 inches in length and can weigh anywhere from 200 to 507 pounds, making them one of the larger ray species you might encounter.
