Found a lionfish out at 8th Beach st. last night.

Did I read somewhere that there are lionfish that survive the winter here?

 

[fishome25]

if you did read that I wouldn't believe it.

thats exciting news on the lionfish. did you keep it?

 

[billsreef]

The only likely place for a lionfish or any other tropical fish species to survive a winter here would be in a power plant outflow.

fishome25 - Didn't have anything to put it in. We were looking for lobster.

 

[The Fish Finder]

Been getting a few tropicals for a while now. Yesterday i caught a first for me though. A baby around 4" mati mati. I am considering donating it to Atlantis. Idk if they would be interested in it though. Here r some quick shot's in the qt before i turned off the lights.

Very cool! I hear they get big and taste great!

The Fish Finder,

Where did you catch him and how?

My son and I watched some guy diving with Sailfish on a night dive and what he found was baby sailfish about the same size as your Mahi Mahi, they were awesome!!

Justin,

AH! I was going to the other end of the island looking when I should have gone to my old faithful spot!

How does Sunday look for you? I didn't get my pass this year but I could probably grab my brothers truck or meet you at OBI parking lot. If you can go I will figure it out, LMK.

Thanks,
Walter

[Zach.Attack6]

WOW thats cool, is it eating and how big is he

 

[fishome25]

Todd at atlantis told me how they had a baby mahi mahi one year. it didn't last long. He said that it required huge amounts of constant feeding.

 

[WallysWorld]

That makes sense, after all its one of the fastest growing fish in the world.

Justin,

Hows he doing? What does he eat?

 

[fishome25]

saw a couple club members at the bridge today. besides them, I saw many spotfin butterflies, 1 four-eye butterfly, 11 snowy grouper, and 1 boston bean boxfish. I only bothered taking home the boxfish.
