Kayak Diving and Spearfishing / Re: Spearfishing halibut around ARW?
« on: April 16, 2018, 01:38:35 PM »

I would be really careful, ARW is full with idiots and I don't think diving is a known activity there.  I was there yesterday and Lovely Martha passed me by about 40 feet away from me (that's about 3 kayak length away!).  The fucking idiot gave me a 5 feet wake and I didn't have time to turn, so I hit it sideway.  The boat came within 60 feet from me (I was already there long before she even showed up).  This boat is not a small PB, it's a 51'!  I was so pissed ....

I've had problems with that boat while salmon fishing around Bolinas. I understand he has a lot of lines in the water and is trying to keep shit from getting tangled, but he doesn't give a shit. I was in a 24' PB and he still just blew right through. That captain is a fucking prick.

Man that's depressing. I don't even dive, but I might start just so I can kill some of those bastards.

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: Fish Finder & flipping
« on: April 05, 2018, 11:55:39 AM »
I dunked my Humminbird and the guy is right, they are rain resistant but not waterproof. Luckily I went through all of the damn warranty paperwork and sent it back to Humminbird. Although the FF was out of warranty, they replaced it with a brand new one for like $50.

General Fishing Tips / Re: Organizing tackle?
« on: April 05, 2018, 08:39:14 AM »
Both.  Just buy all the tackle, always, never tell your wife how much you spend, and organize it in such a way that you need to go buy more tackle.

Seems to work for me.

When my wife throws a shit fit I take her to the grocery store and show her the price of farmed salmon, un-identifiable rockfish fillets, and whole dead frozen "fresh" dungeness. 60% of the time, it works every time.

Pay It Forward / Re: GET YOURSELF CHECKED!!!
« on: March 28, 2018, 03:32:07 PM »
Bump!  Check Everything!. I got into a police academy when I was 26 and passed all of the tests, got hired by San Francisco, and just needed to have a physical. Something on my right testicle felt....different. As I was having a physical anyways I asked the doctor who recommended an ultrasound. That was on a Thursday, by the following Tuesday I was in Surgery with stage 2 Testicular cancer. My homie has a little more room to roam now, but at least I'm not dead. Went through a round of chemo and had to freeze some of the "boys" just in case. I am now 30 and I still have to go in regularly for xrays to ensure everything is good. There are some strange lumps in my right lung, but they appear to be benign. I wouldn't have gone to the doctor if I didn't have a physical schedule already. I don't care what you feel about religion, that was a higher power putting me in a situation that forced me to get checked out. Cancer aint just for old men, check your junk fellas

Fishing Pics / Re: Videos are cool

Going back to the phone, turns out the iPhone 8 is just as in depth a video cam as the go pro 6, I know.....enough of this and post a vid already....stay tuned... :smt006

Cheapest Iphone 8 I found in a 25 second not in depth search was $775. You want to risk getting $775 wet or sent to Davey Jones' Locker?

Maybe something like this?  I never tried it, but if I upgrade my phone, I am thinking hard about using this one.

I actually have a nice hard plastic waterproof iPhone case, and that’s on a railblaza mount. The case even comes with a wide angle lens. I thought it would be great and would work as a GoPro replacement. But I gave up on that after one attempt. It does work well as a gps unit. But I can’t seem to make it work as a camera in that environment. And I use my phone as a camera all the time—just not on the kayak.
Fingers to wet to operate?

This is the phone I have https://www.verizonwireless.com/smartphones/kyocera-duraforce-pro/  It's nice because it is waterproof and as long as you have enough light, the image and sound quality is decent. I'm more into still photography than videography, but phones have some serious downsides you should consider.
     1. storage
     2. quality
     3. cost
     4. battery life

If I were you (and I'm not), I would get an older second hand GoPro. You probably don't need the latest and greatest and you can dick around with it to see if it is something you really think you want to invest in. Like DG said, you will be SAD if something happens to your storage. Invest in some cloud storage, it is relatively inexpensive and even if your house burnt down around you you could recover your footage.

I've done that with rattlesnake skin pinned to a board before Scotty. It's pretty well mummified WildernessMedic, I doubt it really smells like much unless you put your face right up to it.

Found this while pretending to work. Manbearpig, did you try it and how did it work out? I have done exactly what Tote said with deer skulls, but curious how it worked with a fish. Maybe wrap in cheesecloth since the bones are so much smaller to keep the bugs from dragging them off one by one? I would like to do something like this and put it in a shadowbox. Any new info someone may have would be appreciated.

This deserves the death penalty.

"It hit him right here, close to the family jewels," Bob Roper, 79, pointing to the inside of his upper thigh, told the Chronicle, of the injured swimmer.
