Thanks. I think I will restrict my handling of lionfish to the coconut encrusted ones at La Perlita.
That's a delicious policy

Still bringing up stringers like this from above 100 feet. Just not in the marine park.
Kill em all!
Ever notice how so many large lion fish seem to be reported as taken off Villa Blanca?"Just not in the marine park"!!! ??? Where is this crazy marine park that is still not allowing hunters to kill these friggin' things within its bounds? These marine parks that still prohibit Lionfish hunting will have few native fish left to protect if they don't get a clue and fast. Lionfish hunting and killing should not only be allowed absolutely everywhere but encouraged. I read some BS a while ago that spear points that miss their Lionfish target could hit and damage coral! Can you even believe that? What a load of crap! Umm.. Anyone ever seen the damage a Turtle or a Parrot Fish can do to coral with one chomp?
Wear puncture proof gloves and cut the spines with scissors. Voila! Makes great ceviche.Thanks. I think I will restrict my handling of lionfish to the coconut encrusted ones at La Perlita.
Take a chill pill there, buckaroo."Just not in the marine park"!!! ??? Where is this crazy marine park that is still not allowing hunters to kill these friggin' things within its bounds?
What Sallye meant was that there are few pez leon left in the park due to the hunting that has been going on for years. If you want to find fish like she is showing at recreational depths, you have to go outside the park where there is less hunting pressure.
