Collecting -__continued__-

[lharm]

Well alot of you were askin bout what ya need. well you need
a dive flag
a clear net
some thing to scare the fish with a stick or somtin
Put the net were the fish run to
then poke around the fish
the fish will get scared
and swim into the net
pull the net up and fish only swim down or forward
by the time he figures out to swim up hes in your bucket.
If my dad had time we would have alot of fish.
Any one wanna here a bout catching crabs with pvc pipe

just go to a beach and swim till you find a reef.
There should be
Alot of angelfish
damsel fish
sergeant majors
trigger fish
parrotfish
Sergeonfish juv. blue tangs are yellow
AND MUCH MORE!!!!!!!!!!!
You wont need to buy much fish down in miami

We went to westpalm and could not find a spot till the end of the day
They covered all the reef with sand
WHY IS IT ILEGAL TO COLLECT LIVE ROCK
IF THEY KILL IT

 

[lharm]

if you go to a marina
you dont have to get in to catch fish.

yeah, i must say, if i lived down in a semi tropical climate such as florida, i would definitely be collecting my own fish. i'd love to move to hawaii, largely just for that very reason--to actually collect the fish in my tank. if i lived in a place where i have access to a reef, i must confess i would be VERY tempted to take some LR from it.
