where I lay my hat
I have Grass Pickerel for sale.

2-3" fish.......$ 15.00 plus S&H
3" + fish.......$ 20.00 plus S&H

$13.00 for USPS Priority shipping, $ 30.00+ for overnight delivery. Live arrival guarantee on overnight only and not to all parts of the country in the summer heat. It's hot in some parts of the county at this time of year making some deliveries difficult.

Grass pickerel will grow to about 12" and require a 55 gallon tank minimum. They are members of the Esox genus and behave much like a Musky or Northern pike since they are very closely related. They will accept live foods but can be trained to frozen and dry foods with effort. As you might expect, they will eat any tankmate that can fit in their mouth but are also docile. They should not be kept with aggressive tankmates.

Please send a PM if you have any questions.

I generally don't like to arrange for pick up since I work all day but, I will meet people on the way home if convenient. The cost in gas going out of my way far exceeds local delivery. I mean hey, a local delivery costs a few bucks and arrives the next day! PM me so we can work it out.

Just to clear something up about pickerel....A lot of people want fish 8-10". I understand your desire but I want everyone to know how fast they grow. Less than two months ago a pickerel under 1" escaped into my feeder section. I discovered him a week ago and it's over 6". You don't want to buy large fish as they cost WAY more to ship and don't travel as well. If you feed pickerel regularly, you can get 5" growth in a couple of months.
