Hey Dan, Waaaayyyy off topic.... going to be starting some german gunogs in the spring .Be doing a process by process of it ; from pup to five figure finished dog.

I'd love to hear all about it and maybe offer some of my experience although I don't have direct experience with hunting dogs. If you like please start a thread on it in the other things we like to do section. I've been thinking of making a section just for dog stuff. Actually I've been thinking about starting a dog forum as most of the ones out there suck. If you think flaming can get bad and people talk out of their ass on spearfishing forums you'll be amazed to see how much worse dog forums are. In the more prominent ones to cut down on that they instituted a rule where your user name must be your real name. Bill McIntyre would be in heaven.

That music gave it just the right touch, haven't heard that song since I was 15. In retrospect the 80's were a terrible period for music, dead or alive ... :dumb: Was this the actual video for the song, it sucks big time by any standards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcPPEvr6QxY

Were you laughing as hard as me after you got over the initial shock? Now you're relishing the thought of your friends seeing it.. <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin"> It was sent to me by a friend too, hijo de puta! <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">

Yes it's sad he left but hopefully he'll come back.

Tienes suerte Pucho, sales a pescar nadando de tu casa

Yes, what I feel most guilty about is that it was unexpected/a trap so to speak but that was sort of the point of the joke. The solution may be as simple as identifying content that may be offensive to somebody as such and keeping it in an appropriate thread. The thing is I'm never compelled to post something like that on its own worth.

I'm glad you asked as its been bothering me and I've been wanting to talk about it. Yesterday I posted on his fish ID thread, I made a joke and put a link that was supposedly going to a picture of a guaseta but actually went to a porn clip which I thought was pretty funny. I further said that it wasn't a guaseta but a cherna. Let me be judged fairly so here's the porn clip. I will edit this post and remove it tonight. Just make sure no one that can't handle it is near the computer when you click on it. Also it's kinda hard to get it to stop playing if you're don't have a little computer savvy. Just go to the task manager and kill the process for whichever browser you're using. If you don't know how to do that I guess you'll have to restart your computer.

Apparently when Ray clicked on it his 9 year old son was beside him and saw it which created a problem at home. Subsequently Ray said he will not be coming back and asked me to remove his account which I did. I spoke to him through email after that. I apologized and he explained why in his particular situation that was not acceptable. I hope that he changes his mind and comes back.

Consequently I've thought about what should be allowed in the forum and what shouldn't. I'm not above the law here so whatever applies to everybody applies to me too. But for that to happen some guidelines must be set. We have a bikini section which some guys like and my policy there has been that everything is fine except for the chocha being visible. But that was for pics that are seen directly on this site. I had no rule in mind for no links to porn. For example a couple of months back I posted a link to the clip of Fidel Castro's ex daughter in law, the one that smuggled the videotapes of his household to the US, who went into internet porn. The cuban guys here didn't mind at all. This may be a good time to get your opinions on this issue.

Yo te puedo decir la segunda y ultima vez que mate uno. Fue en puerto escondido hace 6 años. Esabamos haciendo un picnic alli y me tire a pescar un rato. Sali con absolutamente nade y lo vi cerca de la orilla, pobre animalito.

Hahaha, recuerdo los dos pescados de cuba. Si, los agujones tienen los dientes y uesos verdes, no sabia lo de la carne. En cuba vi los agujones grandes, casi tamaño de barracuda. Era dificil dispararles porque quedaban pegados a la superficie y tenia miedo fallar y qu el harpon salga del aqua. Tambien recuerdo el jaboncillo, un tipo flojo y resbaloso Te da la medida que no hay pescado cuando empiezes a dispararle a estos peces pero se come igual.

Pic/link?

Thanks Jeff and Davie. Except for not having a flag and being a tad on the expensive side the jugit float is exactly what I was looking for.

But that's going about it in reverse I don't think the dumbbell will spin the way you envision it on the way down.

I don't use reels so no, nothing to scrounge. I think it would have to be a little more robust than a speargun reel because I want thicker line.

Typical chewing gum for the eyes latino programming. Many shows they put on TV here are like that. It doesn't even reach the ankles of slapstick comedy which I'm not too amused by in the first place.

I don't think wood is overrated.

Teak is expensive but not that expensive to charge the prices we're seeing. Wood guns do require more labor than the pipe guns, the teak has to be straight and straight again after lamination. Overall making a wood gun is more labor intensive. Making a pipe gun is just assembling the premanufactured pieces.

I believe that everyone should charge what they want for their work and time. I do resent however that some of these high prices have become the accepted norm to the extent that you can't speak against it on a public forum because you'll be regarded as "The noob spearfisher who doesn't understand the magic and complexity that is this manufacturer or that manufacturer". Knowing what goes into making a good wood gun I think that if manufacturing is approached intelligently with mass production in mind $400 for a Riffe style wood gun (with a better handle) is a fair price.

There's really not that much to a spear gun once you put all the BS aside. Good fish have been taken with a sling. Now if someone wants to pay a thousand bucks for a gun that's a functional work of art that's their deal. I just think guns are a disposable tool and can be easy on the eyes at a fraction of that cost. I remember when I saw my first wood gun and it was a Riffe. I thought it was gorgeous and when I bought it treated it with kid gloves.

I agree with your reasoning Jeff. It remains to try it and see how it goes.

I think monster is talking about wood guns. You can't get a wood gun in Europe for cheap either.

Nice find Alan.

From the pic I can't tell exactly how it works but it's worth a drive to boaters world to check it out. If I can make it for $20 cheaper is not an incentive for me, only if I can make it better.

All it is a block of wood with a flag and spool attached. So as not to make the spool complicated the line will be tied off once it reaches the bottom. Feasible? Maybe unnecessarily complicated. But I am worried about losing sight of a low profile object like the plastic jug.

Ha! I was coming back here to confirm with you which bottles those are and here they are Thanks.

I am however thinking of something more visible, easy to spool yet streamlined. I'll put up a drawing.

Yeah, when I see countersink screws for this application it makes me shake my head.
