I live in Arizona so i could make a trip to Cali and collect my own. I just thought i would ask if there was any success to be had from trying to use something local.

So I encourage those that do not have school or aren't preoccupied with work, etc. to keep the forums active in our absence. Thanks in advance.

Fish are really fast, so I would advise a net of course . You obviously need flippers. When I went snorkeling I saw Garibaldi, Sea Bass and numerous species schooling fish.
