Hello,

Does anyone have any ideas on successfully catching Spotfin Butterflies on the Texas jetties? I live in Flour Bluff on the East side of Corpus Christi, and at Packery Channel, a local channel that separates Padre Island from Mustang Island there are some here. I have seen about 10 of them there ranging in size from about an inch to about 3 inches. I would like to catch one that is about 1.5 to 2 inches long. I have had good results catching the French Angelfish that we have here using 2 green aquarium nets in the 6 to 10 inch size of nets, but the angels are a lot less skiddish than the butterflies. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and any suggestions on their care too.

Thanks,
John
