Ft Pickens is open till 10...
How do you get the fish to swim into the containers...How do you see at night(underwater flashlight?). What kind of net do you use? and what other fish can you find at Ft pickens?

I try to chase them up into it. I hold the container in the back with one hand and use the other hand to run them into it. Sometime I can just place it over them. Don't get me wrong I never said it was easy. I have never had anyluck with a net. The net I have has blue mess and the kind you need is the clear clear bait nets. At night a net would be handy. I have never used a net at night but the way fish act at night I would think it would work pretty good. I use scuba diving lights when I go at night. Becareful not to get caught taking stuff from fort pickens, it illegal. You have to have a florida fishing license to take any thing and in the park you not allowed to take anything except stuff that you are going to use for bait for fishing. It don't make sense to me but that is the rules. It's never stoped me before, I sneak the stuff out of the water if there are other divers and people around. I see all kind of weird fish there. Everytime I go I see something different. You never know what you will incounter. Word to the wise, the damsel are pretty but they are very aggressive and I don't recomend them for a reef tank.

Happy hunting.

post picture of what you catch tonight.

well if i catch some shrimp...i will say that they make good bait!!! I will bring my pole just in case!!!! I will even bring my tackle box for good measure!! I dont think I will go any further than a few feet out though...I will be by myself and all. I have a 20L gallon tank that I think I may be setting up as a small fish only..I could prolly but a couple of the more agressive fishies in there.

Dang, scratch that thought!

You got my hopes up.

Sorry Snakeman, but maybe if I go to my father's and look like a sad puppy, or plead with him if need be, he will take several of us out some time on his 30 something foot long catamaran. I guess I better go work on the sad look awhile

That's more like it.

count me in for the trip to the rigs....i cant scuba...but i can take pictures!!! and I like to fish too!!! PLEASE!!!!

You should be able to get some nice pictures of a Bull shark or two.

daniel did you catch anything last night?

We could hold him by his feet upside down in the water and he could take some pictures underwater...

Terry you got plenty of money why don't you buy us a dive boat. I'll buy the dive flag for it.

I called on one last wk but they could not fedex overnt so I just said %*#( it.....
