That's pretty cool! I'm an NC native but never caught hermits before lol Yep, I've caught hermits, Sergeant Majors, French angels, Queen angels, Grey angels, Blue angels, Beau Gregorys and tiny Spadefish. I was always in the water when I was a kid. We have a stream that runs through the back of the property, I lived in it during the summer. If there was a place where something might live, I was in it. I remember we were deer hunting on the Eastern Shore of Md and I found a little Snapping turtle frozen in the ice. I brought him home and released him the next spring. He was a tiny little fella, maybe 2" if that. We need to do a trip to the coast at some time, late August is the best time for collecting and I know the places to go around the Oregon Inlet. If you do go there, PLEASE PLEASE be careful it's one of the most dangerous places I've ever collected. There are deadly currents, drop offs and sharks frequent the area regularly. Bull sharks pup in the sound of the Outer Banks. I've seen them in 3' of water. The south end of the inlet is particularly dangerous due to drop offs. 1 Quote Link to comment

Lula_Mae Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Haha he's not kidding about some of those rip currents though...currents around the Outer Banks can be dangerous in the right places/conditions. Never want to underestimate that! 3 Quote Link to comment

Moved the brain to another tank and trying to nurse it back to health. Considering getting another tank just for the Nem. Do I really want another tank NO!
