Sorry for the loss of your partner. I love my Brittany's. Great dogs. They really are great comfort and great friends - especially if you hunt with them. They are always full of energy and never seem to grow up, so it's hard to watch them get sick or lose their ability to go wide open. I lost my fir...

Haha, y'all keep making fun of us Alabama folks. I'm a transplant from Georgia, and I tell my Georgia kin that in the Bible the promised land was west of the river. All kidding aside I love this state now, been very good to me, and I really enjoy the fact that so many make fun of Alabama cause it ke...

We see them diving from time to time. There is one on this video at 2:30 that shows how they get around on the bottom.

Regardless of what your opinion about women at Augusta is, I think it's pretty crappy to call her CongoLisa. She has accomplished a heck of a lot in her life and has worked hard to do it. If you can claim her credentials then maybe you have some cred yourself, but I'll bet she's got you beat. I know...

The incident out of PCB happened at one of the most popular dive sites for tourists (Black Bart). I think 3-4 foot seas, but just as the divemaster untied from the wreck (with everyone else onboard) a series of rogue waves hit the stern. With the diver in the water they were vulnerable to drift; it ...

I have a PLB but will get an EPIRB also. The PLB is in my ditch bag, but if my boat gets flipped by a rogue wave like Panama City Dive Charters had happen last summer, I may not be able to get to the bag - especially if I have a head injury. After their accident last year - and they were less than 1...

Well I have a new battery but it didn't solve the problem. Must be a connection problem somewhere.

Thanks again. Replacing battery today. I'll post after I get a chance to test this evening.

Just checked mine, it's a 178c also. Thanks for the reply, I'll look more closely at mine.

My Garmin GPS/bottom machine (I can't remember the model number now - it's 5 years old) turns off after a minute or two. I can turn it back on and all is OK. I assume it is a loose connection or corrosion, but I can't find it and I can't shake any of the connections and make it happen, it just happe...

Although not my question, I appreciate the info. I usually fish and dive off PCB, and over there I have noticed while diving that I will see gags more on wrecks, and reds on natural hard bottom - which is usually low profile. I too am wanting to be able to catch them on hook and line, but I can't es...

This isn't what you wanted, but here is a neat article written a few days ago that should give you some real history of the lake. I think I got this from a previous post on this forum. Still a good read. Go to page 158 (the original page 158 as printed on the pages). http://www.google.com/books?id=h...

I just finished installing a Riptide RT 80 on my nauticstar, replacing an old Riptide. The holes didn't line up and because the gunwhale is sloped and the base of the riptide is small, there was not much flat to mount to (especially after giving over an inch of clearance for the shaft). I cut a piec...

I caught many redfin pike in the Alapaha River when I was a kid. Back before ATV's screwed up the serenity and you could get far enough away from folks to hardly be able to hear motors running. They are usually 8-10 inches - never measured but just guessing. Disinctive red fins. Pretty fish. I usual...
