My sister loves it. She always brings some back that she couldn't finish for me.

I heat up a pan with oil, take the fish off the rice, fry it some seconds with salt and pepper and put it back on the rice ball. Tastes 1,000 times better this way.

I have a cuban friend who hunted quail in Cuba. When I told him here they only shoot flying birds he couldn't beleive it. He told me he would hide in a bush and wait for about 25 quail to get together then blast them.

The exposed shaft half acts like a long lever on the closed track side if the retaining line slips.

If I can get away with a fully enclosed track without breaking the track near the muzzle then I prefer that, if not then an enclosed track half way.

Half track is easier to break than full track.

You might be surprised as to what bad vis is.

Down here bad vis is usually 30-20 ft, where I'm sure in Cali that is considered good vis.

I have only used Omer Aliens, it's fine so why switch. I have had no fogging problems whatsoever, after scrubbing with an ultrasonic toothbrush and toothpaste.

However recently the mask has been hurting my glabella after a couple hours of diving.

Awesome catch, did you blast them during or after they finished porking each other. Next time take a speargun.

I must admit I almost broke Franks fins once. He was sitting on the transom but his fins were hanging off the dive platform or were in the water. The fins tip got sucked into the prop.

If fins get caught it would pull the person in completely which is probably worse than getting run over by a boat. Ever see a rope caught in the props?

That must have been scary as hell.

That full moon should bring something good in.

NIce catch guys. Any story on the black or did you just see him under a rock?

Pretty good idea. If you can mix some fibers, and have them bond well, into the foam you might get some increase in tensile/bending strenght.

What do you mean by keeping it straight?

Do you think this can be a way to overcome the warping and aging time associated with wood?

Also do you guys vacuum your guns?

maybe 10 or 8 gauge

I don't really know so I can't really say.

I would bet that they are not misfires. Most likely it is a false engagement that leads one to believe the trigger is set then eventually gives up after a while.

After looking at the sear of a rob allen I can see how it can falsely engage. The sear can be locked into the wrong position with just wear or sand etc.

I guess some manage it better than others.

Another way is trying to mask it.

Place it in milk, really really cold milk, let it stand overnight changing the milk every couple of hours.

Marinade it salt, fresh ground black pepper, tomato sauce for masking the smell further.

Next get cedar boards from publix and soak it in water. The cedar taste also masks the smell.

Get the grill RED HOT and put in the boards with fish on top.

When th boards char a bit on the sides and fish is cooked pull it off.

This is the tricky part. Scrape the fish gently off, since it might stick, while standing over a trash can. Try to get all of it off.

Serve the cedar boards with ice cold beers and enjoy.

Rusting is good. If the shaft comes out, it wont go far, as it dies from tetanus.

I heard you can soak in sodium bicarbonate.

Ammonia smell is either a sign of decomposition or the fact that rays don't have a urinary tract and excrete urea through their skin.

If decomposing it can have some side effects.

New York only allows spearguns in saltwater. When they say spearfishingin the regulations they mean actually spearing a fish with just a spear, not using a speargun.

Fish you can hit with a spear, maybe a polespear is ok.

I prefer pin due to it being easier to install.

I think I get fatter the more I spearfish.

I don't see how you burn that many calories just floating around.
