port a jetties dude....

  • bucket with a lid
  • net with a long pole (pool nets work great, they also have a plastic guard on the end to keep the net from tearing when dragging on the rocks)
  • a cool red light head lamp (from wal-mart)
  • battery operated air pump
  • a heater for the bucket if you stay in a cold hotel room overnight
  • some water containers with premixed saltwater to start slowly doing water changes once collecting is complete...this also slowly introduces the livestock to tank water and helps keep the water clean...I get like 99% live success with this process
and don't forget some good jams
