  • First gun build underway

    mike my best advice for you is to design the gun to be exactly what you want in a gun and ignore the number 1890, then get a few 1890 coins and inlay them into the stock as ballast.


    what a cool project

  • About Spearboard

    Cool. Thanks for the answer. I certainly respect your position. I don't really need the comments, but it doesn't bother me one bit


    Go get some more bugs buddy :)

  • About Spearboard

    Daniel I am with on this point in almost all other situations but I have no problem with it in this case. I am a pretty argumentative guy. I love discourse and a good debate and above all to learn something. Even if it is at the expense of anything I thought I already knew. I have had numerous situations where my posts were edited or outright deleted and no explanation given. I don't see Tony and spearboard as totally one and the same though. To me, there are legion of spearos who have no awareness of his methods and they have a lot to teach me. That is why I still visit that site.
    Dan and I disagree about this, and while i see that every post I make and all good info I propagate is literally money in gtogans pocket, I still see a small bit of actual community learning.


    If it rubs you wrong to see the site owner do it let me ask you a question. Does a site owner not have the right to express their opinions? Do you mind it if it is intended to sway you or just because it is being shared? Might doing so on a private thread on this forum be the best place to do such venting or does it have no place at all?
    Please read these as genuine questions of interest because I want to understand your feelings on this. No sarcasm or any pejorative attitude at all

  • Broward Beach Conditions

    great report


    great execution


    questionable judgment


    one amazing tip for a rough beach entry is to use your paddle like a keel initially and then as an outrigger. it goes like this.
    1) waves typically dont break directly onto the beach, they have some angle of break.
    2) orient your yak with the waves and now one of the sides of the yak will be slightly more angled to the ocean and one to the beach, this can be anywhere from one degree to 89 based on how significant the current.
    3) time the sets and paddle like an animal as any surfer would to try to get onto the swell and ever so slightly infront of it as it breaks.
    4) the yak will always start to turn at this point, usually to the ocean side,because the back of the kayak is moving faster than the front.
    5) hold the paddle vertically and put the whole blade into the water directly behind or next to you on the opposite side.
    6) this will make the front rotate around the paddle and straighten you out, you have just avoided the first and most common kayak flipper and can repeat through the breaks and onto the beach.


    if you fail to right the direction and find yourself now looking down the beach and about to roll....


    7) as a wave is approaching, try to use big sweep strokes (reach way forward and move the paddle out at 45degrees) and once the wave is almost upon you reach your paddle out far and lean onto the paddle with the blade in the face of the wave. you can lean really far..in a three foot wave you can almost lean 90 degrees with total stability.
    8) in this precarious position you can usually ride through the break of the wave and will either be on the beach or through the worst moment and able to straighten out.


    id recommend you spend a day with regular surf surfing the kayak..it is a lot of fun, and no gear to lose

  • Hogfish and conservation

    I encourage everyone to do one thing, educate the poachers you see. I never start a fight or yell a them but I always explaint that they are doing themselves a disservice as there will be less hogs around...many people say "wow, i never thought about that" or, " i had no idea that you measured them to the fork" or" i thought you could take 10 snapper a day" ??? there are a lot of D-bags, but i find most people are just ignorant and are happy to learn and change if they arent offended or dont feel attacked

  • interesting quote


    this is a tough quote for me. I happen to totally agree with it, but St John here is a difficult man for me to agree with...he is largely regarded as one of the founders of Anti-semitism
    John Chrysostom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    he took Paul's "withered stump" idea and ran with it

  • Florida Rockfish?

    yeah, thanks...I am still trying to figure out the best way to hold and use the gopro..lately i have been using the tinman mount but off the gun...it acts like a big handle...clearly not quite well enough :)


    Dan I just copied the link from the youtube share button. where did you get that link. the url of the vid?
