Port A peppermints

Just have to have a valid saltwater fishing license

Yes sir, that is a must. I have never been asked by a game warden once for my catch (Hunting or Fishing). I have gotten a Super Combo License every year for the last 12 years.

Its best to use a bait net with a metal rim that encloses the net so it doesnt tear on the rocks. You use a flashlight and shine it down into the water against rocks, at the end of the jetti. When you see little red beady eyes, you take your light off of them as it scares them. Then you take your net and scrape it upwards agaist the rocks and swoosh you got some! My brother-in-law and I did this once and got at least 200-250 peppermints, 2 purple urchins, 2 blennies, almost caught a HUGE dragon wrasse, caught a very large (10-12") angler fish. When we were on our way back down too, He dropped half of his bucket too! we still came out with at least 100 peps 1 blennie, and 2 urchins, and 2 small pipefish which didnt make it because they wouldnt eat! The blennie is still doing great in my moms 38g, and 1 peppermint shrimp still alive (lionfish feasted on the rest). Its fun to do though!

I just woke up a couple of hours ago. Thanks Justin, you're worth your weight in gasoline . That bucket got the Hulk Hogan treatment once I got back to the van. Don't take a bucket with a plastic strap though the handle. Lesson learned, Oh well.

Thats whole lotta gas .

Don't forget to pm me your address. See in the morning.

Same here, never had a game warden come by while dove hunting or fishing, but have heard of others being stopped and the penalty for not having the license is a heck of a lot more than what it costs to buy one.

My wife just got a ticket on Lake Livingston for fishing without a license. Just sitting at the edge of the water with a fishing pole. Didn't even catch a fish. Haven't checked to see what the fine is yet.

Just a heads up, those shrimp seem to be way more aggressive than the ones imported from Florida. Not sure, but they could be a slightly different species? Anyhow, they work great for the aptasia but when they're gone and the shrimp get hungry look out.

I have been fishing/hunting for about 20 years, and I have had the game warden come up on me tons of times. I had one walk on o our property at about 11pm, he just walked up out of the darkness. I have had them stop me more than once in a day out on Lake Cedar Creek in NE Texas. On Lake Fork, I was sighted for not have proper lights on, on the boat, at 3 am in the back of a stump field, night fishing w/ my pops. And the number one place I have been stopped is loading the boat up...they always ask to open the live wells.
