Rich - No doubt that your jig and the one Dan posted are more secure. I was mainly intrigued by the simplicity of the Rockler jig, the way that it automatically centers itself, and the fact that you could easily build one quickly if need be.

Good Idea, unless your a potty mouthed homophobic, diffident, self entitled college student who can't see past their next alcoholic beverage or sexual encounter. But, if you are then jump right in.
or ur a culturally insensitive, homosexual, washed up retiree who has nothing better to do with his time than sit on his computer and troll forums. oh and who STILL can't spearfish for crap.
you know what the funny thing is... this whole time you've been sitting on here insulting me calling me names and trying to pass me off as a poacher, you've still never posted a report or a pic of fish you've caught. You've not contributed anything at all.
What made you so unhappy that you have to hide behind a computer screen and launch insults at people? were you dropped on your head as a kid? probably..

heading out today to some deeper stuff. I'll post a report when I get back.

Right, the clear plate is attached to the base of the router. And yes, you would have to apply a bit of torque to make sure that the pins stay against the stock as you move the router.
-
See the two brass pins that stick down from the clear base? There is one pin on each side of the wood. You rotate the router until one pin contacts each side of the board, and this automatically centers the router bit in the middle of the wood.

I thought I had a simple idea for a centering jig that might be useful when using a handheld router to cut a pocket in the middle of a gun blank or other similar shape. Not a new idea, it would seem.
It's certainly not a substitute for a solid router table, but it would let you do things "right side up" where you can see what's going on. Just something to file away in your mental bag of tricks.

but you are kinda cute. Maybe i'll come down to where you fish. But, lol, You don't know what I look like. BUT, I know what YOU look like. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x"> Whaddaya say?
Thats not creepy at all. Is this you admitting to your homosexuality? I knew you were a flamer...
-
you sure about the liking guys part? LOL.
I sent u a PM. Thanks for the no attitude :cheers:
-
Well, if you weren't guilty then you would disregard the posts and move on. But you seem to be upset about my posts. It leads me to believe that you have something to hide. In the interrogation game, it's called a soft admittance.
Cheers,
It's fun to spin you up, but I have other, more productive things to do today. thanks for the distractionooo i'm scared now... the ex army guy used an army term on me... I'm sure you know everything about my entire life now.
I wouldnt disregard the posts, cuz you're attacking me and idk what they taught you in the millitary, but when someone's attacking, you shouldnt just sit there and take it. unless you are... like I said earlier... a little girl...
I'm pretty sure you dont have anything else better to do today since you take the time to troll and wait for me to post a picture of some fish. Why dont you get out and spearfish instead of sitting on ur computer all day? Maybe then you'll actually get halfway decent at holding your breath.
-
Also, why are you getting so upset? Only guilty people get upset.
Im getting upset cuz i'm not taking crap from a retired old guy who can't spearfish for shit. I'm not guilty of anything besides standing up for myself when you're trolling ass comes after me.
-
The hole I crawled out of? You're the freaking troll that just waits for me to post up a picture of fish or bugs that i've caught and says, how many people were you with?
I would LOVE to see you even try or post a pic in which you've caught that many bugs.
You're jealous of the fish that I catch. Just admit it.
Just because you moved all the way to Key West and still cant catch shit, doesn't mean you can troll this website and try and play me off as a poacher.
-
I'm sure you will make a great doctor... If you can pass your courses.
Also, whenever you want to meet, maybe you can explain to me your point of view? I'm sure we could talk about your disregard for others and there cultures. And as far as my sexual preferences go....... are you asking me for a date? Sorry, I've got my hetero street credentials. Do you?
Also, I haven't seen you beach dive with a foursome ever! So I question your legal take of lobsters you put up on another post. Also, your usually bumming a ride or a kayak off of somebody else because your so cheap.
Do all of Florida a favor and go to another country and attend medical school.How often have you seen me do a beach dive period? the dive when I got 22 lobster was on a boat, and the previous beach dive was a three some in which we got 16 lobster. Both of which are completely legal. Just cuz you can't seem to figure out how to catch fish/bugs effectively doesn't mean you should question the legality of my catches.
Yea i'm usually bumming a ride off someone and yea i'm cheap, cuz i'm in college. Didnt grow up around here and therefore dont have the facilities to store a kayak or a boat. I'd rather be cheap and bumming rides than not catching jack squat and diving in 10ft of water like you...
How do I have a disreguard for other people and other cultures? i always eat what I catch. I always take only whats in the legal limits. So idk what ur talking about.

do you think the idea about shims would be practical for tha irregular shapes? do they make a more elastic bagging material? that might have more give to fill in space?
Here's a short video from the Soller Composites website. The vacuum bagging material that they use does appear to be pretty flexible.

You can press all manner of shapes from the outside to help the CF conform. But unless the shape is very simple, I think that would get pretty tough pretty quick.

Shawn, I do a lot of chumming when im in the keys working the dropoff. I learned this technique from JC and Emil. We anchor on an area in about 60-70ft of water on the edge of the reef and the sand and start chumming with Tournament Master Menhaden chum
My preferred fish chum is the pogies/shad that you can buy at any tackle shop. Leave them out and let them thaw, get them really nice and mush and start breaking them up into little bits. This always brings in fish. Like Judah said. Burleying a fish is also another effective way of bringing fish in. Shoot a "shit fish" such as a chub or spadefish. Scale it, and then start running ur knife against the skin. until it is down to the bone. This technique is REALLY effective and is best done with two people in the water. You can get so focused on chumming, you miss some of the macks and YJs that come into the area.
IN our are though, I've found that squid chum and again the tournament master chum works well draped off the side of the boat/yak on the reef edge. I've personally witnessed hogfish coming down the ledge line to the chum. Its really like shooting fish in a barrel. We got 6 hogs in one spot doing that one day last spring.
Back when I was working on charter boats in Tampa, we would drop a weighted chum bag on a downrigger to the bottom of a hard bottom area or wreck if the snapper and grouper wern't wanting to bite. That was almost instanaenous firing up of the fishing.
Chum is a really really good tool that I like to use a lot. Just gotta watch out for the sharks!!
Oh and lobster heads work really well too.

fishingdude, his attitude and his culture.
Well since this is the Sever Criticism section, I hope I can get away with this. If not, I'm sure that Dan will do something about it. But.....
I dont know what your problem with me Rhodyhunter. But apparently, your still crying about that stupid whale wars thread that we had over three months ago. You know who brings up things that are in the past? Women... and thats exactly what you're acting like right now, a little girl. I dont care what your beliefs are and I dont care what ur hippy fish hugging faggot ass thinks, cuz I dont try and push my values on you. I dont criticize you for your values. But, when the Feds are trying to shut down all grouper and red snapper fishing, I DO hate conservationists and fish huggers like you. Why do you even spearfish if you love fish so much? Why dont you go join the Florida Sportsman elitists who think that all fish should be released?
If you stop taking things do damn personally, maybe you'll quit acting like a woman, actually contribute to this website and learn how to spearfish a little better than swimming around key west harbor and thinking about shooting the barracuda.
So f uckoff, stop being a little girl about something that happened in the past, and go have fun at fantasy fest with ur hippy fish hugging friends you fairy....

We used to make "chumsicles" to help bring in fish when visibility was bad, or in areas where there was lots of small structure but nothing really substantial. We ground up chum, and froze it in a small bucket with a loop of wire sticking out of the top. On the water, we pulled the frozen block out of the bucket, snapped the loop of wire to our marker buoy weight when marking a spot, and let it sit there for a little while as we got ready to dive. It took a little while to melt, so it lasted long enough to bring in the fish, and did a pretty good job of keeping the scent around without giving them much to eat. After it melted, there was nothing to retrieve except the little wire loop.
I never found it very effective with grouper, but it worked quite well with red snapper and sheepshead.

wow! what an awesome vid!thanks for posting

conservationists..and fish huggers

If I did my math right, It should be stiffer than any aluminum tube, but the ultimate strength will be less than if a high strength aluminum like 7075 were used. But I couldn't find any 7075 tube to keep the weight down.
These are just calculated numbers for now, but comparing the 5/8" OD x 0.049" wall steel tube, to 5/8" OD solid 6061 aluminum rod, and assuming a 5' length, you should get:
Weight: 1.51 lbs (steel), 1.85 lbs (aluminum)
Predicted deflection, supported at the ends with a 20lb weight hung in the middle: 0.81" (steel), 1.15" (aluminum)The 6061 aluminum would have a very slight advantage in the total load that it could support before taking a permanent bend. 7075 Aluminum would be considerably stronger.

I'm working on a new polespear, and using some different materials along the way. We'll see how it goes.
First, I ran some calculations, and decided to use a thin wall tube (5/8" OD x 0.049" wall) of normalized 4130 steel. That is a chrome-molybdenum steel, which is about twice as strong as plain vanilla carbon steel, but still relatively inexpensive. It's the stuff often used in race car roll cages and some home built aircraft.
As it turns out, this 5/8" tube is a fair bit stiffer than a piece of solid 5/8" aluminum, because steel is about three times as stiff as aluminum (other things being equal). At the same time, this hollow tube weighs about 1.5 lbs, vs. about 1.8 for a solid aluminum rod.
The only problem, of course, is rust. I turned a piece of G10 epoxy-glass rod that inserts about 1-1/2" into each end. I plan to put a carbon fiber sleeve over the whole thing, hopefully providing a tough outer skin to prevent rust. It should bond very well to the G10 at each end, and prevent any water from leaking in. At least, that's the plan . . .
