Assistance - Release Weights

Hi Crew, I have received this email below.  Could anyone advise who I can get this lady to speak to about getting some weights sent to the states.

Cheers,

Adam

 

Hello!

I am a graduate student in Oceanography at Louisiana State University and am doing a study on red snapper populations on oil and gas platform legs. We are looking to purchase the release weights featured on your site, but I can't seem to find where to order them. Please let me know if I have navigated the site incorrectly or if there is a phone number I could call to order.

Thanks!

Adam,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. We are generally looking to purchase four or five of every size you have (assuming you have approximately 20, 40, 80 and 120 oz weights). We generally catch red snapper that average around 8-10 lbs, but catch them at all sizes, and need a variety of weights, as my project is targeting the appropriate size weight to use in this release method. Is there a way to order these off of your website? If not, I can give you a call at any time convenient for you.

Thanks!
Grace

Shipping would be very expensive, to the point of it not being practical, would it be easier to maybe send her some pictures of one, and try to get it made locally?, after all it's hardly a technical piece of equipment.

BCF has them and she can pay on her credit card and have them shipped to her.  Ask her if the research is still going ahead as I thought the oil spill in the gulf impacted all of the redfish grounds.  If BCF is no joy, tell her to shoot me an e-mail at benrayau@gmail.com and I will set up everthing since she is from my home turf in Bogalusa Louisiana!

Theyre sent all over the world by ship.  It takes a while but if they want to pay for air which some do why not.  Its not all about the money with some people.
