WOW that's a lot of Lionfish!!!! Do you guys eat them or give them to restaurants or what? Were those Smoothhound or Duskys or what?
WTF, thats a a ridiculous amount of lionfish in one area. Wonder if they were brought in(chummed) or just hanging out in those numbers?
they seem phenomenally stupid on every level LOL they just sit there and watch as all their Lionfish-buddies get FORKED
It would seem that one could lay a weighted net on the bottom and then pull in large numbers of the invaders rather than spearing them one by one.
Oh yeah of course but unlike a commercial fishing boat and being that this would be a conservation measure all native fish could quickly be removed and thrown back in.With a diver down near the catch site the natives could be shooed away and when the lions congregate the net would be drawn up....someone already said that they are stupid fish or something to that extent so they probably would not leave the net area as it tightens lol.
I would expect the by-catch to be impaled on their spines, so there's a good chance they would not survive, but DOES sound like a really good idea......perhaps a trap devised specifically for Lionfish along the lines of a Crabpot or Eel-trap but IDK how to make it so it would exclude other fish. No doubt there's probably a way to do it though
