About 8 miles offshore from Barnegat Light NJ. Surface temp 43 bottom temp 38 to 40Where are you fishing with water that cold?
Got another today this one not doing to well at moment but she will be ok. She has a lot of strength notice the golden color
I’m a gill netter we set nets a mile long and pull em up every day to empty them The seahorses are usually hanging on to the web of net then fall off on deck of boat. That’s where I’ve found all my buddiesHow are you fishing that you’re catching sea horses? Not being difficult, I just have no knowledge of how this is done. I suspect it’s not a tiny hook that’s going down that deep.
Probably throw them back or leave them on the net until the next set.That’s awesome! It’s nice that you keep them. What do other gill netters do when they pull them up?
I never asked anyone because if I didn’t like the answer there would be problemsThat’s awesome! It’s nice that you keep them. What do other gill netters do when they pull them up?
Thank you I feel I give them 2nd chance at life because I don’t think if I threw them back in ocean they would make too bottom before being eatenProbably throw them back or leave them on the net until the next set.
This is really cool you do this!
Out on boat and all I can think about is the new seahorse I found yesterday. Hoping that she is well I’ve texted my daughters 4x already to get updatesThank you I feel I give them 2nd chance at life because I don’t think if I threw them back in ocean they would make too bottom before being eaten
Trust me I’ve put back way more than I’ve ever kept. And ones I’ve kept are doing very well and seem to protect the new oneHonestly, because of the netting, they take a huge decompression too fast, then a thermal shock.
Wild caught need special care at the beginning, 3 stages deworming, converting to frozen food... Maybe you should just put them back and let them hivernate in the deep
