Hi Zanymaster
I suggest you read this article if you haven't done it yet. I believe you are located in Astoria NYC, and if so it is not far from the long island sound and long Island floating piers, so why not drive over and collect some...I know it is cold over there in this time of the year, still collection should not take more than 30 minutes judging from these pictures KathyC took to the article...

I would willingly give you some that I have frozen in the refrigerator...but I'm 3300 miles or more away...

Cheers
Pedro Nuno;-)

Sorry,no car.I would gladly pay for shipping if it's not too expensive.

I would gladly ship it to you for free, but being what it is, not only it might not arrive in good condition, but also we would need permits for that...
Any way, just returned from the sea side. Went for a walk on the beach. The weather is good, saw the sun set on the horizon, profited to collect some NSW and fresh Porphyra sp. (nori) and there it was, the sponge, so close, yet so far for me to help you. I just hope kathyC or someone can help you to get the sponge and also hope it is available at this time of the year over there. Do remember though, that having the sponge is no guaraty that the fish will eat. It should have been offered it from the very begining as it might take some time to take it, eventhough I've had cases in which the fish immediatly took it.
I suggest also another possibility, the sponge cakes, which in this case will have no sponge or can have some is you use formula angel frozen food from ocean nutrition, which you will add to the sponge cakes recepy that you will find in the article.

Here is a photograph of the sponge cakes

As I wrote in the article, you have to be imaginative and lead the fish to eat.
