Welcome mate,
Cheers, Don Paul
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
Thanks for the Link, that is more spiritual reading than I have done in a while..I never was enough of a student of religion to know that St John was a founder of Anti-semitism.
I was doing vintage fighting knife research last night and ran across it in in a soldier's foot notes.
I will gladly delete it if the quote offends any members here.
Cheers, Don
"For men of understanding do not say that the sword is to blame for murder, nor wine for drunkenness, nor strength for outrage, nor courage for foolhardiness, but they lay the blame on those who make an improper use of the gifts which have been bestowed upon them by God, and punish them accordingly."
St. John Chrysostom (circa 341-410 A.D.), from "Treatise on the Priesthood"

OK mate, your good in my book.
You'll fit in fine to our motley crew. 
Cheers Don
Did you remember to hold the big lobsters underwater vertically to remove all of the trapped air in their carapace before you released them?
Trapped air in their carapace can cause those big lobsters to die, by drying out their gills. It could be a couple weeks, but they will die from it. Chris Oak has seen it happen to big lobsters at his aquarium.
Thank you Daniel I didn't know that, but I have never given one a ride to a new hooch.
Cheers, Don
DAM that cyrano has never looked so hot untill now.

I generally leave the large bugs alone. However, I decided to start relocating the larger lobster to the MLPA areas (marine reserves) that go into effect 1/2012. These areas will be no take zones for lobster. Large lobster help keep the urchin population under control. A big problem in some zones.
Happy hunting!
I need to come up and dive there as I never grabbed a bug over 7 lb. I'll give them a ride in my cooler if you need a friend.
Cheers, Don
From the beaches east of Havana almost to Matanzas.
Some day brother...some day we dive with your friends and smoke some fine Romeo and J's basking in the sun...Salsa flowing through the afternoon heat.

Welcome mate, good to have you Your out there in the land of Barry Paxman and Edge reels.
The Alexander is a life time mech you can trust that's for sure, the housing has some mass.It was based on the Undersee from your homeland, but with investment cast SS instead of brass. The 316SS housing is milled from billet.Jay Riffe imported the first Undersee's for his gun line. Steve later revamped it.
I have no personal experience with Neptronic but many builders use them.
Cheers, Don Paul
I had a video of the new Sporasub One 2012 airgun prototype that may be in the 2012 catalog due out this week.
The bad news is Pesca Sub pulled the utube after Sporasub told them to wait for the formal release.
The Sporasub One Pneumatic looks a Airbalete but with new cuddle bone shaped tank and what looks like a STC vacuum kit and slide ring free shaft. Word on the street is many of the Airbalete's issues have been addressed. I hope the sales of the Airbalete have helped Sporasub offer the new gun with out price increases over the old gun, time will tell.
My tweaked and modded Arbi will be getting a newly designed Tomba dry barrel in a lighter and more hydrodynamic form. Stay tuned in 2012 for a return to the darkside......now I just need a boat.;)
I'll post the new airgun utube as soon as it's released.
Cheers, Don
I try
No I've never have. But I have talked to a friend recently that has eaten california, florida, and main lobsters and swears that main lobsters taste the sweetest and the best.
I would agree with that statement, but that fall and winter water sure is a bitch in a 5mil.
Great report as always. That Starbucks spot was a wee bit red the other nite...I just did some catch and release for practice.;) I can't wait to get to the island next week.
Is Tail still using the Pursuit mast he won at the OC Freedvers meeting ? I thought he's brain was a little too big for it to fit well.
Cheers, Don
Yes. japsw did it. I haven't picked it up yet.
Great move....do what you do best, pay someone to do the rest.;)
Cheers, Don
Great shooting, love the double. The music is very respectful to the seas gift.
Cheers, Don
I embrace sport fishing, but still struggle with acceptance of SCUBA spearing and always will. The US is one of the few country's in the world that permits it . Leave the tanks for exploration, photography and bubble rings.
Cheers, Don
