Would you be willing to meet up and "show a brother the ropes"? I would like to navigate the jetties in the darkness while battleing the current without loosing an arm or a leg. But in the end it is all worth it!

they were there last week...I plan on going to get more Wed nite......
For mid-October...it just depends on the water temperature......at this rate, they will probably still be around...its been hot and it doesnt look like its going to stop being hot

They won't be there until late Spring/early Summer....water is too cold

being a native islander from port a i thought i throw a nother lil tibit that is fun. Really fun for kiddos.
take a lil ole 10 gal tank preferbally acrilc or plastic, and a ice chest to the beach. great this time of year with all the sargusam washing up

have the kiddos or yourself wade out with the cooler and gather up big bunches of fresh seaweed, take them back to your tank and shake the hell out of them. You would not belive the whole ecosystem in one of these balls of seaweed. I have caught thousands of shrimp, crabs, a lil octipus once, and at least a dozen sargausum fishes. You also get a lot of seaslugs that the kiddos will love.



*edit*
Sorry bout bringing back a dead thread i am new to forums in general and didn't realize i was 6 months late

Your doing nothing wrong. There's nothing wrong in reading n posting your own experiences. I've pulled starfish out of the seaweed also.

I tagged along on this thread for just this reason, I have three kids and this sounds like a lot of fun, thanks!

Okay so here we go.....I just moved here and have been building what seems now to be 3-4 tanks lol....I HAD NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF THIS....Is this going on right now? I know the storms mess things up but is this the right time of year? Is it only effective in the evening?

Anyone wanna go lol?
