Collection trip - anyone going?

Great pictures. I see a few pipe fish in the container, what are the other slender looking fish? Is that an orange filefish? Love the blue claw. Classic boy meets puffer fish.

That's the lookdown I was looking for!

Was an orange filefish, and that is exactly what Jeremy was saying when Joe snapped the picture.

Yes orange filefish, blue spot cornets are the real slender fish (might look like pipefish), plus some northern sennet which are relatives to the barracuda, got some butterflies, bandtail puffers, lizardfish, crevalle jacks, northern kingfish plus lots of local critters.
A good way to spend a morning for sure.

Nice mixed bag.

We ended up getting 3 lookdowns with our smaller seine net. I have them set up in a small 30 gallon until we can sell them next week. Lot of fun and the weather was very nice.
