- Catching them on the beach is too easy! You've got to go after them
- with rod & reel. :^)

- They are definitely causing alot of deserved attention. I have several
- boat owning friends who are almost in a panic about how to keep them
- from munching their motors (clogging intakes etc.) Love it when
- people introduce new species into the ecosystem. Anyone for rabbit
- hunting in australia?
