NEADC Tropical Fish Rescue and Club BBQ

September 23th, 2017

The results this year was definately mixed. Many people reported seeing tropicals (especially spotfin butterflies), but they were very hard to catch. All people were able to catch for a display tank was a small permit fish. The visibility ranged from very bad to very good, which was definately a factor.

With the remains of a hurricane sitting offshore, the water temperature in the open ocean was warmer than normal, which could have kept many fish out there - or the hurricane could have scattered the fish away from shore.

The conditions onshore however were fantastic. 70 degrees and sunny, everyone had a great time at the BBQ.

Longtime President Rick Rosa stepped down this year - Thanks for all your Service!
