    Need resource for live food[large fish]

    hi, i have a few large groupers around 1-2ft and i need a live food source to feed them. i usually catch them small snappers or large minnows but i didn't stock enough up and they are getting kinda sparse now. does anyone know a resource that i can buy large saltwater minnows or something to feed them?

    just curious...have you tried to wean your grouper off of live food. Trying raw seafood? Pieces of fresh shrimp or other seafood that can be cut into chunks.

    If you can get it to feed on "non live" food, you can also soak the food in a vitamin additive. Not to mention you can buy it any grocery store.

    Just a an idea.

    one other thought...I am not from NY, but make sure you are not violating any fish and game law, such as size limits, what is in or out of season, collection techniques. Here in Ca, it gets a little crazy on when, what size, what and where you can collect or catch fish.

    I swim with them, eat them, catch them, care for them, but never get tired of "them"....
