Port A macro

[corruption]

While on the topic of Port A catching -- does anyone here on MAAST run a Port A/Gulf Coastal biotopic tank? The wife and I have been pondering doing this off and on for a few years now, and are finally nearing a point that we could refashion one of our previous tanks for this use... Would love to see any other examples that people have made -- I know there were a couple on the Fin-Addict store forums back before they went down!

Also, any suggestions on relatively accessible places to go collecting? I'm semi-wheelchair-bound, and can't walk without something to support on-to, so the jetties are pretty much out of the question... I know I can get out in the shoal areas at the national seashore, but any other suggestions?

The red tide has passed, but there was a significant number of fish kills. The spot in the Laguna Madre where I normally do a majority of my collecting is a mass graveyard. I tried a couple of other spots along the causeway, but there really isn't much alive that's even worth collecting in the shallows right now; just pinfish and sheepshead minnows.

Why would anyone want to take the sea grass anyways? I never collect the sea grass, only the macro algae from the piers.

[Mr Cob]

Hope the macro algae from the piers/jetties isn't protected as well.

I dont believe it is, but I would check to be completely sure.

[Mr Cob]

I don't see any algaes as being protected.

Thanks for the tip on the sea grass...I've never heard of anyone taking it but definitely good to know it is protected.
