Re: NANFA-L-- pipefishes in the Chesapeake Bay

Hello, folks. I've been unusually busy lately, and meant to get back to
this thread. I do know a location for pipefish, sheepshead minnows, bay
anchovies and maybe skillet fish. It's a little too far north for
seahorses, though, which may be illegal to collect (I'm not sure--I'd need
to check the regulations.

I'm also hoping to go on another snakehead hunt in the Potomac, and an
expedition for longear sunfish-in-Pennyfield. Bluespotted sunfish are also
an option.

If anyone's interested, let me know--it helps to have a head count when I
apply for the scientific collection permit. It will be a month or two
before I can get organized, though and get the necessary permits and
permissions.

Thanks.

Bob
