I have no problem with the conventional multi band set up. I agree with everything Jeff said. There's not much sideways force acting on the back of the shaft where the notches normally are. The middle of the shaft is another story. You'd have to go with tabs. Rest tabs have been done before. Not a big deal doing this to a stainless steel shaft. Also possible on an RA shaft.

I think he's referring to this one shark cage

Sorry to derail, but what about Dobermanns?? Around here is hard to find a good one, but if you get to find the right one, those beasts are serious working dogs too. I like their speed and lightning fast reflexes, that would be my pick for a full attack dog.
Yes it's hard to find a good one, but a good dobe is a great protection dog.

The one that belonged to my friend lived a long full life. There was a lot of dog hair in his apartment. Terriers are spunky dogs, you gotta love em' to own one.

Cool pic.

Actually dogs have to be able to attack a passive suspect, or doing anything for that matter. A real bite is a real bite and the more the dog does it the better it becomes. The punching and kicking of those guys appears uncalled for. On the other hand we don't know what their crime was.

Great report Larry. A cobia on the first reef wow! Jim and crew also went out yesterday but reported very little fish movement. There certainly are days that feel like that but I always question if it's just the area. Will you have pics of the catch?

Me imagino que te refires desde el punto de vista del racismo. Actualmente yo no lo mire asi aunque se puede entender. Los perros que se entrena para attacke tienen que morder en la vida real para ser buenos. Los policia de aqui lo hacen igual cuando aparece la possibilidad, solo que tienen que hacerlo legalmente. Por eso muchas veces el policia norte americano deja a su perro seguir mordiendo mas de lo que ya era suficiente.

That was entertaining what a talented bunch. I like it when they're having a hard time not cracking up themselves.

Sorry for the derail Davie.

Dan, When you lived in Cuba , did you learned russian as well? Most cubans do...wait a moment, i realize now where your passion for chess comes from ...
Actually Russian is my mother tongue, the first language I learned to speak. I was born in the former USSR. I like chess but I have other "passions" that far outweigh it. Chess is based on competitiveness which I lack lately.

I've only done it once and it was pretty scary. I attempted to do around 45ft and it was on a drop off about 100 yards from shore (not in the US). The number one difficulty I encountered was equalizing because I had the gun in one hand and the light in the other. Every time I'd bring my light hand to my nose I'd lose direction. This can be solved by attaching the light to the gun which can be done in a neat way that will not interfere with the function of the gun. But I never got around to doing it.
The bigger problem IMO is that if you're doing a depth past 20ft no matter how powerful the light (It will be small if you attach it to the gun) you will not get more than 20-25ft out of the beam and it will be very focused. You will only see a very small illuminated circle. This would be manageable if you're diving on a very specific wreck.
Scuba divers may have a different perspective on this. I think doing any kind of serious depth freediving is not feasible. Splashing around in 15ft would be OK but still pretty creepy. I don't see how you could keep up with a diving partner in the dark so you'd have to go solo.

I have a clear idea of what sperafishing means to me, how and why I do it. You go to a thing like that and you get bombarded with other people's ideas on it. I simply don't need that. It doesn't make me feel good to know that there's a million people doing what I hold near and dear, especially in my back yard (the expo is 15 minutes away from my house). I don't feel special any more and feel I lose the intimate bond I have with the sea, as if it wasn't eroded enough already as of late. Grogan wants to make spearfishing like baseball or something, that disturbs and revolts me. Some may find my POV hypocritical considering the medium we are using to communicate. But I always said I don't want this site to become another spearboard. I want to keep it friendly and small.
The exception is one of the guest speakers Steven Callahan. I read his book Adrift and admire his courage and resourcefulness. Although I don't really know if I have anything worthwhile to ask him in person. He made a very good effort with the book and said everything important there.

So do I get a candy if I confirm that you're right?
The big yellow chocolate bar in the middle says krasnaya shapochka (little red riding hood) so it is Russian. Did you find it in your garage? LOLStanding by for my candy.

He keeps going down and down.. I'd be getting worried already.
