I catch most of my fish scuba diving at various spots around Oahu. Usually between 40 and 150 feet deep, but sometimes deeper. Catching fish on scuba can be very difficult and requires a lot of practice! If you're a beginner the easiest way is to look in tidepools or shallow reef areas at night. You can find some really cool stuff in tidepools - even dragon morays if you're lucky (true story, but not mine sadly). |

Fish finder. It depends on when they put my boat in the water.
I haven't been to the Oak Beach Inn in a few years because I am usually in the Sound. Of course in the Sound collecting is limited to inverts and just a few fish. Do you do any SCUBA diving out there? Or is all your collecting near the beach? Paul |

Paul B. I do both free style diveing and on shore net collecting. I was sick for some time and had to get a hip replacement about 2 year's ago so ive been recovering ever since. Ive been cleared to do scuba about a month ago so im very happy. Ive been pestering my doc about it for some time now since i realy want to learn what i consider the next stage. Do you know any places that i should go to learn?

Fish Finder, since I was certified many years ago, all the places that I went to are out of business. The only place I know left is near Fortunoffs on Old Country Road. I think it's SCUBA Depot or something like that. I also think Danny's Dive Shop is still in business in Baldwin.
I have a scene net ans enough dive equipment for three divers which I am sure we won't need. Paul |

Fish finder, it is totally different now from when I got certified. It is a lot shorter now because they want you to keep going for different courses. When I went I had to learn everything. I would imagine it is about 4 weeks now a couple of nights a week but I am not sure. Of course you can get certified in a few days in the Caribbean.

the idea of having a fish that you collected must be very very rewarding

PaulB and FishFinder, I am in Montauk and want to join you this summer. I am certified (rescue) also.
Out here we collect everything, Stripers, Blues, Fluke,Sea BAss, Cod, Wolffish, triggers, blackfish. Sea PErch, Sea Robins, Tuna, SHark, Wahoo, Marlin I am hoping to come across someone ditching a large tank (400g+) soon so as to start a local species tank in my garage. I have some lobstermen friends and they get all kinds of neat stuff in the traps. Have never dove locally though. Need to start! |

Hey, I collect stuff too. Hey Justin, I want to collect with you also. Maybe I can drive my 19ft boat from Hawaii to NY.

I can drive my 24' boat to Hawaii and meet you half way.
Jnfallon, I am in Montauk all the time, but stripped bass don't fit in my reef. I have over 200 dives in local NY water but none in Montauk. I plan to be living on the north fork in two years. Paul |
