when do u guys normally start goin out??

[clavinr]

Year round. I switch to a dry suit in November and back to a wetsuit in April. I make it out about twice a month in the winter, and twice a week from april - nov.

Fish don't show up for awhile...may

[Tooth]

thats awsome. what are u shooting now?

[clavinr]

Shooting blanks ;)

I think the only thing to shoot at now is an occasional cod on a wreck. There are a few lobsters and crabs around. Other than that it's just splashing around.

Maybe someone else has better luck?

[Tooth]

yeah that is what i figured. well if your ever in CT this summer give me a call.

[clavinr]

I'll make it a point to. Same here, if you find your way north. (I always thought of CT as the deep south ;-)

[Tooth]

what part of mass are u in? how far from like URI or providence?

[Danny D]

Im living right by Providence ( i know you didn't ask me , but i figured i'd answere) right now . Lets go diving lol

[clavinr]

I live in Onset, I can see the West entrance from to the Cape Cod Canal. Nice place to be. I carry my kayak to the beach, paddle out to the island pick up some oysters, cast for some stripers or blues and paddle back to watch the sunset.

PS I can paddle to my dive shop.

Life is tough.

[Tooth]

when the water warms up i'll go..

[clavinr]

Cool. Maybe at one of teh Mass Freediver Events

welcome to new england...... there is nothing like it here

[Danny D]

I think I am going to change the name of this poast to "Weather cooling down" we just got 8 inches of snow.

[clavinr]

I was supposed to go today, but this friggin snowstorm put a damper on things. I'm doing some lapswimming and freedive training instead...

[Tooth]

some one has some brass balls...

[clavinr]

Shrivelly...

PS the lap swimming and freedive training was in the pool ;-) I'm not that crazy

[Danny D]

Nah someone doesn't have brass balls ...they would be raisins if he went out now

[Scoobiedoo]

Hey Danny D,
Its Scoobiedoo in Central NY man!

hey, has ANYONE seen on the news today about this like Mega-Lobster than was caught - and then later released and not killed?

This Bad Boy was-like HUGE man!

[Danny D]

Yeah that is one big lobster...I tell you what ...If i saw that thing under a wreck or a rock id have a heart attack!

[Scoobiedoo]

Danny,
How u like my icon Bro? lol!

[Tooth]

the 22#? it just died.....

[Danny D]

Yeah the dumb bastards though it would live in a fish tank....Not likely . If we can't take lobsters that big in mass (excluding the cape permitts) then why should commercial fisherman be able too...we have just as much right as they do!!! They should have just left it alone. If it lived that long then it lived under very specific circumstances and those circumstances can not be duplicated in an aquarium no matter how hard they try ..to many factors are involved!!!! Its there own fault!!! I'm pissed they killed it who wants to storm Pittsburgh with me !!!!! :mad: :eek: lol

[Danny D]

Tooth i go to school in RI too..we need to get into the water in a couple weeks!
