Fishing Trips

[rasdbo]

I cant get any response from some sites Ive seen that offer trips to africa or amazon areas. Can we get a sticky or area for this? maybe try to setup a MFK trip to someplace where we can collect our own wild fish.

I have a brother in-law thats in the army that was stationed in africa but they wouldnt let him ship fish back home. He did find some places but no contact info.

Sometimes there are MFK fishing trips in Florida...It's not Africa or the Amazon but there are a lot of exotic introduced species. I think something like an Amazon or Africa trip would be very hard to put together.

There is a lot of paper work getting fish imported into the country. You would need to have a transshipper to take care of that while you sending your collected fish to them. If you are interested in this I believe George at shark Aquarium takes a yearly trip.

I think that would be a great idea. you can plan for it just like planing a local trip or conference. get the info, ask people whats a good time, then see who really wants to do it.

Im pretty sure with the store owners here, someone (or 2) would be willing to help out with shiping.

some people might want to go just to go and not get any thing, but know where and how the fish are collected or what the environment looks like to better decorate thier tank.

I wouldn't mind going to FL to catch some P-bass or Clown knifes. I bet a 2' knife would put up a good fight.
