Cheers mate, Welcome. I'm a ex Yankee from Connecticut, but also spent time at the cape in Florida.
Winter will be over by Easter and you can start looking for striped bass and flounder.
I used to be a member of the Springfield Kennel club when my chick raised great danes.
Cheers, Don Paul -

wooahh! I think the shark didnt bite cause of the tank.. hes lucky to have one there haha...tiger sharks attack and bite anything they want
Only when they are hungry, curious or threatened, I remember one from Tahiti that had a cement block
in it's belly. I have be caught is 4 knot currents with a 15' one for 20 mins. I was praying every child hood
prayer I could remember.:@ My god was working well for me that day.;)
I give big Tigers allot of respect even though I did try to bait one without a cage on scuba in Moorea Tahiti
while filming. I need to convert some of my old digital 8 footage for you guys some day, I have some crazy
shite.:@
Cheers, Don -
What! you made a wood handle for the epitome of pneumatic spearguns!
Nice work. Do you think it's going to match aesthetically?
If I going to develop this fart gun, I'm wrapping my hand around some thick wood.:@
;) -
you make your own wood guns,handles,etc don paul?
Yes, I have always built and used my own guns from 10 years old.I have a few in threads kicking around here showing a few of my creations.
The fine handle carving was done by a spero in France, it is very close to some of the handles I have carved
and shaped to fit my hand.that handle is beautiful, trying to add some bouyancy.Quote: Lunker Buster.
I'm going carry out tests, before I chose the density of the wood, and before I waste any time with that, I will evaluate the
Airbalate as a hunting tool for inshore huntting of 5 lb Calico bass and 50lb White Sea Bass.
As this gun will get mod'ed you, will most likely see a barrel which blends into green kelp fronds with a dense Cocobolo handle.
Cheers, Don -
I have Omer 110 Airbalete being shipped to Cali, after I shake it down and see if I can live with it, this will
be the first mod.

Beautiful island Don. Are there also women to spend time with or just crusty old sailors? Quote: Dan
This is one of the island fox's
Other one's may be found here, if your on holiday.
And if you have cash to flash and dough to blow more can be found here.
Think of Cat Island as a Monaco of the pacific coast, with White sharks and big game fish...oh I forgot
the Russian boars and Buffalo. Can make camping very interesting at times. :@ I hate camping anyways, I feel better on a boat.Aye Aye you f'nn wankers.... there's Yellowtail boiling off the starboard rail... man the gameguns.
Cheers, Don -
I'm sure it shoots good. I haven't looked at the spear it has though. Can you use any spear you want or easy to modify? I'm sure the OMER one will cost a lot of money.
It's coming with two, but I may still fab my own.
Don -
very cool, i bet catalina island is a neat place
Without this Island (26) mile offshore I would not have stayed in Calli.
It has everything, great food, good pubs, and great game fish. I just wish the Marlin were legal to spear.
Cheers, Don -
Great catch Don! What kind of fish is that? WSB?
Yes White Sea Bass, the water was 58 degrees, I did it on a bet.
I like the quality of the meat on the fish under 50 pounds.
Cheers, Don -
I like the fact your diving with a flag close to you Dan, every little bit counts. A big AJ may get it down,
but it wont crush completely till 50' of depth. A fifty pound tuna could make never come home.
Cheers, Don -
i like your shrots don,, who says underwear cant be outerwear
where was that picture taken?Thanks I was just trying to cover up my speedo :@ That was at a Blue Water Meet at Catalina Island Ca.
It may have been the year Julie R. won.
Cheers, Don
