Catch your fish Chris? JT asked about the trap yesterday.

JT, coordinate with Chris if you still need it and if Chris is done with it. This weekend's frag swap could be a good chance to hand-off.

[txav8r]

He caught it a while back. He was planning on bringing it to the frag swap.

[Big_Pun]

Sorry Rob i forgot there was a thread for the trap, i had talked to Jack earlier in the week. As for the trap worked great especially for smaller fish or tight spots.

[Mr Cob]

k, cool.

JT...we'll have the trap at the swap this weekend if you want to pick it up from us or Chris.

[Big_Pun]

If Jt needs asap he can call me or swing by he lives like 5-10 min from me

[Mr Cob]

sweet

[ErikH]

pic of the trap?

sorry I just gotta see.

[Mr Cob]

don't have one...this one is not our final prototype though. This one is just a clear rectangle acrylic box with a sliding drop door. Nothing special.

[TaknByD]

:::UPDATE:::

Just wanted to let you know that I picked up the trap from JT today. Already caught one fish... Three more little guys to go and it's all yours Mike. Hopefully I can get them within the weekend... We will see... Who knew fish were so darn smart... LoL

[Mr Cob]

thx for the update

[TaknByD]

Just another update... I have all fish captured but one... He gets up to the edge but just doesn't get in there yet. But I'm sure that he will be in there soon... Just wanted to give you guys a heads up so you didn't think I forgot about things. This thing works great!

[TaknByD]

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am officially DONE catching all four of the fish that I was in need of catching. This thing works like a charm, but that last one was a PITA to catch. I'll shoot Mike a PM and see when we can do the change over. Thanks Rob for letting me borrow this AWESOME trap. :D

[Mr Cob]

cool...thank Jack for making it :wink_smile:

[TaknByD]

Jack, my hat goes off to you good sir... Job well done. :D

[txav8r]

Glad to hear it worked!

[Kristy]

Hey Dustin, I'll respond since I don't think Mike has had a chance to. Thanks for keeping us posted.

We've caught a few fish in the past week and had some luck with the old fashioned method, scooping up in a net. So it looks like you can scratch Mike off the list and return the trap to Rob/Jack as we no longer are in need. I'm sure they'll post here what they would like you to do with it.

[Mr Cob]

^cool, I'm putting myself next on the list. I'm doing the pickup this week and if you could bring it Dustin that would be great. I got a domino damsel that I got from Rick, he came with a blue hippo and they were buds.... and against my better judgement I added him to the tank. Guess who likes to bite me everytime I put my hand in the tank? HAHA! Yep the damsel. He actually pulled some skin off too and I let out a little yelp. lol!

[TaknByD]

I will be sure to bring it to you on Wednesday's pickup. I can't wait to pick up my new winnings from the auctions as well. Wo0t! Just waiting to know when that pick up is scheduled for tomorrow. :D

[Mr Cob]

^yeah dude....you'll be extremely happy with your coral.

pickup:

[allan]

If I can be put on the list, I'd even buy coral to meet collect the trap after you're through using it. :)

I still have Rusty's Evil Twin.

[Mr Cob]

just documenting where the trap is.

Lucky has it and is planning to use it soon.

[ShAgMaN]

Rob, please add me to the list.

I'm going to attempt to catch the tribal blenny. I think the trap might be too large though, and I'm not sure if you can place the trap on live rock securely - which is really the only way I think I'll be able to lure him in. He's not very social and only feeds around his area, and that's not even to common.

[Mr Cob]

I have hung it on the side with mag floats, buried it in the sand for catching 20+ peps over a few nights, mounted it in my rock work by placing a rock in it to catch a cleaner shrimp that never leaves his den....and I'm sure there are more ways to use the trap and all of those ways worked.

Size: 6"L x 4" x4"

Added you to the list.
