This blew my mind wanted to show everyone. I wanna know how he managed to catch them too lol probably a big net or something.

I was also wondering if anyone knows any places around the area where I can do the same. There gotta be some shallow fresh/brackish/salt water in LI sound with small species?

nice

I was thinking any structure or jetty add an air stone for good measure and do salt /brackish

there are tons of really cool small fish. one we call (phonetically) Beg-all not to confuse with Bergall fish sure the real name but they look like a blenny and are really colorful. known for driving fishermen mad.

what do you mean by structure or "jetty"? lol
can you tell me where i can find these small fish? i'm about to do this for real

 

[fishman1069]

Threadbare tons of jetties and rock structures on the North shore. I have several right near me in Rocky Point and Port Jefferson. There's also the bays that have a lot of shallow areas where little fish hang out

Any town you might suggest? I'm looking at google maps hre.. what do you think about jamaica bay. thinking about it.. this is not as simple as it sounds. i dont know if i'm down if it'll involve snorkeling. also carryin the thing back would be tough. but if things show to be def possible i just might.

 

[beastium]

Is anyone else down to do this with some ideas or equipment lol

 

[fishman1069]

I had a buddy that tried this and the critters didn't last too long. Most if the local species like colder waters. My friends problem was he didn't implement a chiller. If you decide ti do this, that should be on the top of your list. Good luck

 

[beastium]

True, thanks. You know any exact spots I can try at

 

[fishman1069]

I know some spots out this way and further out east. They are not named spots but I can show them to you this summer :beer:

 

[beastium]

Haha sounds good u ever hear of lloyds neck?

 

[fishman1069]

Yeah man, I've been all over long island. Lloyds neck.is.nice but almost impossible to find parking without getting a ticket

 

[vramirez209]

You can fish for small sea bass like 4 in by the Verrazano bridge. I was on a boat fishing and a mate said he always catches small seabass and put them in a tank. There cool looking fish too !

 

[vramirez209]

Also try point lookout there have alot of jetties and peirs small fish linger around .

 

[beastium]

Hah thanks all. Seems like I should plan this carefully. Definitely don't want tickets. I need a spot I can wade in with garbage bag on my feet with a large net..

I can't see the video.... Is it on YouTube ?

 

[vramirez209]

Yea just copy the name of the video in the thread on YouTube

my wife's kid brother tried this by taking fish out of the lake in Branch Brook park.

Interesting fish, shy at first, not to big in size.

Woke up the next morning to find his new additions had killed his brackish angels and discus

 

[beastium]

Haha that sucks but kinda awesome. I def wanna try a school of tiny fish and maybe one or two med size fishes in a 5.5 g for starters. Any recommendations for a chiller appropriate

I think Paul B has something like this with locally caught fish, not reef safe.
