Hmmm...Sounds like the Surfin' Version of a Bueller.

Interesting that with your extremities in the water to a shark you look like a sea lion or the Hawaiian equivalent. However, with all your parts on the board, you look like a Giant Squid.

Oh well, tried to get back on topic. LOL

Nev you are right about the diet LOL

The boat we fished off Whitby last year was a Cygnus 28 with forward wheel house. My friend sold her back end of the year in preparation for his new boat coming. As we speak his new one is being built. If I remember rightly it's around 38' and runs twin Volvo Penta's. The 38 footer in reality is a small ship compared to the 28 . The bigger Cygnus will sail the oceans but the little un you'd leave in port if anything bigger than a swell was blowing.

Friend takes delivery of the big Cygnus around March \ April so I'll keep you posted. Sharks are pretty rare around these parts though so I doubt we'll be hauling any of them fella's on board - but you never know <grin>

Rocket...Look at the bright side. Any Shark you get in the North Sea would be considered a Whale, at least by So Cal standards.

The really good (commercial) fishing pictures rarely get taken because at the time there’s just too much going on to stop and pick up a camera.

A perfect example is the picture that Snail emailed to a few folks just a while back. It was of two guys standing on his aft deck, knee-deep in crabs. The hold was full of crabs, right up to the top of what appeared to be about a four-foot high hatch combing, and then, out of space, the rest got dumped on the deck. It was a good picture; the aftermath, if you will. But it’s most meaningful to those who were there or have been there. A record trip, bragging rights, a fat paycheck.

But the really great pictures that never got taken were the ones of all those crabs coming aboard as they fought “16-foot, breaking seas.” I’ve never worked in a trap fishery like that, but I do know that in those conditions every man aboard had better be giving 100% concentration to the task at hand or the consequences could be disastrous. If you want to bring those kinds of pictures home, you need to bring a photographer to sea with you. And if he’s a landlubber, you’d better lash him to something substantial before you hand him his camera.

Well, that’s maybe a little dramatic… but not much. You get the idea.

As a little follow-up to the shark blathering, here’s a shot of Ryan at the end of his second day of ‘shark wrangling’ as we lay on anchor. (All that adrenalin really takes it out of you. )

Thus we have gone from talking about idiot riders to fishing bait. Well, I guess if you really think about it, you could use both as fishing bait.

I would now like to talk about Red Lobster. How about that chewy calamari? Gotta love those cheese bizkits.

Now that I have said enough stupid s**t.

Red Lobster??? Great topic! They have their annual "all you can eat" shrimp deal going on right now, at least in the Milwaukee area. Yahoo!!!

thanks for the comeback captpete. even those words paint a picture that makes me shiver. 16ft seas, yikes..i am the landlubber you mentioned.
that is all so crazy to me.every year people flock to the east coast to jump into the water only to find out sharks and barracuda are there too!!!!
the storms that you commercial fisherman weather on a regular basis is amazing to me. i am such a wuss.i have the utmost respect for you all!!
regards kenw buell sales

I have read this whole discussion and I feel if a rider wants to endanger himself (as we all have) he has a right to do so. After all he is paying the bike payment and insurance, but when they endanger others in the process, that pisses me off.
About 3 years ago a guy on a kawasaki did a stoppie next to my car in traffic. He obviously did not know what he was doing as his rear end slammed into my car. My 3 yr old daughter was in the rear seat next to the door he hit, and it scared her so bad she did not want to get into a car for a while. 3" higher and he would have broken the window.
Then before I could even get out of my car he was back on the bike and gone. No liscense plate. Cost me $600.
That is why I hate squids.
