Last summer there were a handful of lionfish reports in the northern Gulf of Mexico. This summer many more reports are coming in. I personnally had my first two sightings over the 4th of July weekend, at two locations in opposite directions. I have a feeling this fish will be a common sight by next summer. (I have reported the sightings to REEF.org and the NSGS).
