I'm trying to find some good places to catch some rockfish for my 110.

 

Something like this guy would be nice, although he'll get to about 20 inches or so eventually.

Like the new nems and stuff, really cool man.

 

I'm looking at schools up thataway, osu and wsu. if I got up there i'd definitly start up a CW tank myself.

 

 

I'm also trying to talk my friend in to setting up a local cold-water tank, he's like 45 min from the ocean so it's much easier for him to collect stuff. then I could just mooch stuff off him :D. he wants me to set up a terrarium in turn. maybe i'll go over to the dry side. maybe....

Aren't those the ones that live in very deepwater, they're red because red light doesn't penetrate that far into the water, so it makes them look gray?

Rockfish are raelly really cool. A lot of them are at the NE Aquarium. Tons and Tons of them.

 

They are.

I have caught one of those before. Honestly please don't get one for your tank. They would be tough because they would eat any shrimp or smaller fish. Their populations are dwindling as it is.

Thanks! They are :)

 

Ah very cool. I was just talking to the head Eel Grass Specialist (probably not his name, something that makes more sense haha) at the labs at friday harbor. He has been working with my family, the labs there are part of WSU.

 

 

Well just check the collecting laws :)

UFA is a good school, as well as UAA. My brother's going to the later right now.

Haha yea thats what I meant. looked into NJ collecting laws, and you only need permits to collect shellfish or other commercial marine life. you don't even need a fishing license for ocean fishing, figures.

Ummm I will get back to you on that. I know we are going to Homer for some halibut fishing though :)

If you can, I would really suggest that you try and get up to Anchorage/ Wasilla. There's some good LFS out here. And I live in Wasilla. :P
