I've never done longer than one day trips, so I haven't paid much attention to the quality of coolers. For me size was important but keeping time no so much. I was also doubtful about whether there's really a difference between a marine cooler and a regular cooler. Anyways I had some people over Sunday and put two bags of ice in the cooler. Afterwards I left the ice in the cooler to see how long it will last. It's been 3.5 days and after emptying the water there's still the equivalent of one bag of ice left in the cooler. I remember someone told me that it's good for 5 days. So I guess I recommend this cooler, it's an Igloo 128qt. Another thing worth mentioning is that it was used/old when I bought it, so there's little if any deterioration due to only time.

I may run the same test with my coleman cooler which is around 80qt and not marine grade.

You have a pool Steven! Perfect for target practice. & nice Macks.

I got rings braided into the anchor line at approx 30ft intervals which the quick release snap gets attached to. The quick release snap and line are attached to the bow eye, I believe the nautical term for it is painter.

Sergio says they're the same as a spade fish. It's been a very long time since I shot a chub so I can't remember the reasons, but at the time I remember deciding to not shoot them again. The stomach lining is black which is a turnoff, and the guts stink. I'm not sure but I think the meat is greyish in color when cooked.

This is a late report. Pantoja, Alan and myself encountered unpleasant conditions. Water was cold, the vis was poor, and at some point the seas built up to 3-5. The good thing is that the rib handled everything well. It was possible to make good time on the way back once I found the speed that would keep us on the plane but not bounce too hard over the tops of the waves. I dove very little as after the first spot I was blowing bloody snot out of my nose. Pantoja managed a nice yellow jack and Alan a hog or two. At the very end I took home two barracudas. Pantoja also shot a big chub, maybe the biggest I've ever seen. When asked why he shot it he replied "it was big" We should've weighed it, would've been a forum record.

Sunday Davie (seaweed) brought over ribs and a home made BBQ sauce. It was very good and I asked him for the recipe, here it is:

Seasoning:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp chili powder
3/4 tbsp garlic powder
3/4 tbsp onion powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
add 1/2 to 1 tbsp curry powder

Sauce;
Fry about 2 tbsp minced garlic then add:
1/2 cup of the seasoning
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar
add cayenne to desired spicyness

simmer for 15 minutes.

Peel the membrane off the back of the pork spareribs. Boil ribs in water, some vinegar, and seasoning for about 45 minutes until meat starts to peel off bone. Then rub seasoning on them and grill.

Interesting Harry. What are the reasons you don't recommend level 3?

Very cool Don.

You have beautiful daughters Pucho. Nice day, nice catch to share with your family. Thanks for the pics.

Looks great, congratz.

Yeah, after a few drinks you don't worry so much about the consequences, and after all it was only an air rifle.

That particular carbon kevlar fin will be subjected to more torture tests until it breaks. I've been meaning to do it for a long time just never got around to it.

No attacking dog. But a few drinks lead to some impromptu fin material testing <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Thanks for the review Judah. I gathered the same thing from researching this camera online previously.

Welcome to the forum Shawn. Looking forward to some Canadian spearfishing pics.

Don, Monster, we would've loved to have you here.

Pantoja has the same thing you're talking about. I've thought about cutting a circle over it, but the problem was solved with bigger footpockets and thicker socks. I still think the hole is a possible solution, just don't create a run in the rubber. I've done all kinds of work with footpockets and the best way to reshape them is with a Dremel and a grinding bit. So you'd make a small hole and go enlarging it with the grinding bit.

I've never handled a C4 pocket. I imagine it would be even less forgiving because of the ergonomic shape.

Progress report.

Pantoja brought some weird organ meat, and Steven liked it :yucky: Davie brought some awesome ribs and homemade BBQ sauce :delicious:

Still early so we're waiting for the rest of you guys.

You are welcome here

I don't know where you are right now, NC or PR.
