welcome aboard and thanks as well for the service.

you will do well to start with a polespear..your hunting techniques will be better and your awareness heightened...when, and if, you do switch to a gun, life will be so easy

i read that she was knocked off initially but scrambled back on the board....amazing

search on here for dive board and you should find some past projects.

and yes, banks boards are the Shizzzle

i would love to come if the schedule and wallet will allow...keep me posted

howdy..nice to have you

damn Hank..that sounds epic!! have a great time and be safe.

good call.

I just see anything that can snag and it send up red flags...two years of diving is enough time that something would hae likely happened.

I dont use a reel, but I imagine that reel guys would have the most likelihood of snagsgiven the nature of reel line

you got angels on your shoulder Steve....very glad you are unharmed and that the boater was not a typical POS who just bailed and left you there.

howdy...nice to have you.

lots to learn here

nice report Steve-o and nice new avatar

the handle is beautiful but i have some concerns that it might be a mess of potential spots for line and mono to get snagged and tangled.

amazing craftsmanship.

yeah, the stupid mutton curse lives on...

Japs, we wanted to hitthe bolt, but the bouy we got was the north end of the wreck and the current was sweeping up from the south. when we started working the flasher and chum it was pretty clear all our efforts were going away from the wreck...by the time we figured that all out, the other bouys were occupied and we bailed.

learn for next time

excellent...and quite a hairy encounter.

a ticked off bull is a bad boy

So Shallow Runner and I and 9 other dudes headed to Marathoon for the Cinco weekend.

there were mixed skill levels among the group but spirits were ery high...and as the spirits were consumed, we got even higher

Friday found us with 4-6ft seas at a nice period which made it do-able but the vis was not cooperating and we managed only a cuda, a chub and a schoolmaster. Nothing amazing but I was pleased given the conditions. We grabbed another snapper H&L on our way in and drank about 90 beers and a bottle of rum.

Saturday the wind had died and the ocean laid down to 1-2, we were all very excited about diving and planned to work our way in from the thunderbolt since some guys wanted to blow a tank there.

We arrived at the bolt only to find one of the guys BC had blown and the dive was scratched. we worked our way in and out from 30fsw to 10fsw back to 35 and back to 15 and we never found any vis..there was a wall of green crap that came out of the gulf and went to the edge of the patch reefs and the reef line itself was still blown up from the weeks prior. My buddy Rob took a thick 24" black and Shawn bagged a hog.

we cooked up all the fish and drank twice as much that night.

all in all I had a great trip and made a few friends in the process, also I converted 9 guys into cuda fans

we also got to see a sweet loggerhead covered in barnacles over the Bolt...he was at least 6 ft long and looked to be a very wise creature.

thanks to everyone for the advice and tips beforehand...hoping for better viz next tiem

great trip report...thanks for sharing

sucks about the suit buddy...I hope glue will do the trick

ahhh you read my mind about the angles looking like they want to flip that muzzle...

also I love the use of a"crutch" end cap as the butt...genius

Have I mentioned how much I love this thread

Don, why the lowered handle on the Addict gun? does it serve a purpose or just look cool?

i saw that too Steve...you have a nice set of home Phil

welcome
