I'm a new member of NANFA and new to keeping fishes. I have my first tank (a 20 gallon) on a fishless cycle now, and am looking forward to going out on a collecting trip as soon as it is ready. I've been stalking around on the forum for a few weeks and just joined officially. The organization seems to be an invaluable source of knowledge and advice, and I look forward to being a part of it!

I'm definitely game for a collecting trip later in the spring, let me know if you plan an outing!

I'm not too familiar with sites in SC, but I do know of a few good places down here in south Georgia if you are interested. I am studying at Georgia Southern University and just finished up an Ichthyology course in which we went out seining and electrofishing in several different areas. I am also doing an undergraduate research project on fish utilization of floodplain habitats on the Altamaha River, so I know a few good backwater sites as well. It has been very interesting so far, and should be getting even better now that the water levels are coming up.

This should be a great outing

Please reach out to me and the other NANFA folks in Georgia if you ever need any help... you would be surprised how far we are willing to travel just to help someone drag a seine...
This is something that I believe strongly that NANFA should do... support educators, students, DNR, etc. on projects that they have... to provide a service to these kind of people... to help advance our knowledge and our advocacy for our native fish (I will stop here before I get all philosophical about things).

And yes, the Convention would be an awesome trip!

All you need in GA for non-game a.k.a bait fish, is a fishing license... not sure what the non resident costs are... but should be available on line.

Thanks Michael, I will definitely keep this in mind going forward!
