Fishing for a living?

[mauishelldiver]

Can an individual catch and sell fish to saltwaterfish.com and make enough money to pay for his diving? I am an avid diver (six days a week) and quite often I see fish that people are asking for such as eels, tangs, butterfly fish and wrasses. I have permits to export and have spoken to the department of agriculture about it. They tell me theres nobody else shipping from here lately.
I usually spend over a hundred dollars a week on my diving with gas and lunch included.
Does anyone here know anybody doing this?
Does Hawaii have certain fish not available from breeders?
Thankyou for any input or advice, mark

Hey same here! I will pay.. Whats your prices?

I think SWF.com would give me the boot for selling on thier site and it would be far too expensive to sell to individuals. Shipping anything from Hi. is high. Unless I was sending a dozen or so at a time it really wouldn't be worth it for the buyer.

Lol can we say group order!

i would pay shipping for hand caught live stock.
atleast I would know where it came from.
you also wouldnt need to sell on swf
you could do it by email or make a free website
