Fire Islands are good place for that and NJ shore lines too.

the people from lira had one a few weeks ago. i'm not sure how they did though. sometimes they get angels, trigger, tangs and butterflies while netting out east. we have a few lira member on our site, maybe we can get input from them...

I missed the LIRA collection trip this year, had to attend some frag swap in Soho.

There is a post on RC, they did get some tropical fish this year but the place is pretty far east, past Riverhead. You have to be in the water with sine nets and I think the recent weather may have killed most of the fish in the water.

I think someone else here collects from Brooklyn?

I read an article by Paul B in FAMA (or one of those fish magazines), he described his tank and how he collect and uses asphalt from the beaches in his tank.

Well here is what Paul B from RC has to say:

There are many places I know to collect but almost all of them you need a boat. Will you be going collecting this time of the year?
The places you can get to without a boat this time of the year are Bar Beach in Roslyn.
or Fort Totten in Queens. Out on the Island the best place is Georgica Pond, you have to go to the beach and walk on the dunes about a quarter mile to get to the pond.
There are also beaches near Montauk for nice seaweed, I don't know the names now but I was there yesterday. What exactly are you looking to collect?
And about where?
