kind of ur neck of the woods dan, i can see why u shoredive now the reef extends much further in

ft. lauderdale scott and I 9am
ocean flat but decent size swells near shore, we went out the distance to what would of been what we call the 2nd and 3rd reef in dania (where the ledges are)...really cool bottom structure all over, big ravines and trenches and coral heads. came across a stretch of bottom at least a hundred yards long of just elkhorn coral so thickk u couldnt see the sand. saw two seaturtles chillen together and they were curious ,,and big schools of spadefish. lots of little jacks swam through and saw a lot of smaller muttons and other snappers. i got two hogs and some kind of jack with yellow fins. not a whole lot of ideal fish but a beautiful day regardless the viz was pretty awesome... scott got two nice hogs ,, 17+inch, a mighty wave claimed my fish but no gear,, so i cant complain.

fucking dimwit boaters,, honestly when ur in a boat arnt you always watching for shit in the water? markers/buoys and lobster/crab traps, let alone the obvious dive flags and other boats,how do these people make it this far in life?

ugh dan

wild, good viz at least

yeah thats frusturating, it onnly takes a few times close together to get back in the groove at least though. sounds like a good day and decent catches, how deep were you diving?
i saw a grouper today just on the second reef bigger than any ive ever seen before and when it spooked the entire reef shook it was so loud

veryn nice guys, glad to see yall are still gettin iin the water

meade solo at 9 am.
ocean very very calm
second reef, viz was poor. got one nice hog.
ceviche for lunch:)

i imagine it would be okay for a closed muzzle , kinda nifty

sdeisen---IMO, I think that many here would agree that the worst case REAL LIFE senareo for an enclosed track gun is when the shaft is fired and the shaft hits something solid before the shaft TOTALLY exits the enclosed track. IMO, this is when the enclosed track is stressed the most and when most enclosed tracks tear out. What that means to me with this 120cm ETPGB is that I cannot shoot the ETPG towards any hard coral back stop LESS than 40in from the end of this gun without concern for the safety of the ET.

i dont think i ever really do that anyway,, maybe under ledges and stuff.. but i think itd be an easy enough thing to remember

well thats all thats probably necessary id think..

have u lightlly tested the strngth of the connection between the rail and the barrrel? like jsut a tug or two?

brett is that wood (the tasmanian oak) somehwat available where you are, or is it still a real specialty type thing?
they are alla type of eucylptus no?

cool, it will be nice to see the progression of this project.

agreed, half the time the ones that come too close actually see u too and its like they think its normal to pass so close

ha it is it is, i think ill keep my hair though. my step mother is a television producer so they went out there on buisness

just until tomorow morning.

. However the topic has come up a few times already so I wanted to run it through the mythbuster..

my family with thee myth busters . but the hot lady oone was prego

thats sound advice judah, the system is the system

i think your delving too deep into this questionn.. noones setting out to round up careless boaters but i do recognize that having a running camera going couold be useful. i understand what your saying dan that its silly to think u could say hey hey marine ppatrol look at this video of a boat going by me too close. on the other hand though what if someone ur diving with actually does get hit. ive read two articles jsut this year of boat hit and runs locally (in florida at least). and others from the past. also what if a boat gets snagged in your gear, tears up ur float and flloatline or wrecks up our kayaks and then decides to take off while we are jsut bobbing in the water like wtf? its a stretch to say a videos enough to matter about a boat wizzing by but in some circumstances itd be the peice of info ud really want to have. a lot of times boats have big names and graphics on the side like reel master or wahoo slayer or whatever goofy thing they slap on there.
