How to Clean Coral Correctly???

[chloe]

lol shes quite happy to throw the hook in and reel it in but cant bait or unhook the fish lol so tbh i usually get my aunts husband to do it...mainly because he thinks i cant and hes soooo macho that we cant do it lol so doesnt let us.
but this year hes not coming so should be alllll good, but i will b a bit nevous unhooking my first fish but the more i catch the better il get, right?

Yeah, it's not hard. Just watch for spines on the dorsal and pectoral fins, grip it firmly, but not hard, behind the gills, push the hook in and then up, and it should come right out. Watch out for teeth! Some florida critters have some serious weoponry, like the baracuda. You can also get fish dehookers, just a simple piece of strong wire bent into a small U at the end, you put the U on the bend in the hook and push the hook out. If you have trouble, mash the barbs down with a pair of pliers. How ddi we go from cleaning coral to unhooking fish? Here strikes my ADD!

The question is, what are you doing out of the kitchen?



(LOL I JOKE!) I just scrub my rocks then wash them off, everything seems fine, no boiling or high pressure stuff.

tbh i usually use a kiddies fork, catch the hook between the prongs then push and up.
