Re: Damn Yankee Spearfishing tour - AandA - 05-09-2008
Any evening at about 6:00 would work on our end (except for this weekend). Next Saturday the 17th would be the only real possibility for a day shot. For Saturday the 17th we would have to be done by 1:00 as Brian has plans at 2:00....

6pm isn't realistic for me and the 17th is booked. Sunday the 18th is kind of open.
Nate any chance you want to hook up on the 18th? I could stop by your shop on the way back for spear gun safety 101 and any trip advice. I could also be equipped for a dive if that sweetens the deal. :

How long are we going to meet? I got to help a buddy the 17th but if the meeting isn't too long winded I could ask him to stop by with me in the morning, talk shop for an hour and then get out of town. It would have to be 9am or so.
That way Brian and I can get on with the day and still get a talk in.
I could make up the time on Sunday.

Brian and I can both meet at 9 am on the 17th. Nate, does that work for you?

Is anybody else even remotely curious about going on a trip like this? This would be a good time to stop and see some video, equipment, and pictures of what to expect. I would also like to add that I don't make anything off of these trips. I do it solely for the love of diving and my enthusiasm for Spearfishing. Bringing back 40 pounds of fillets and six to eight lobster tails is also a motivating factor ;D
If any dive shops would like to set up a trip I'm sure my host would more than happy to accommodate you, his contact information is in this thread.

I know of at least one guy who might be interested... unfortunately, the timing on this one isn't working into my schedule - but I might show up (and if I do, I'll try to remember to grab you another package of salmon! or two...)

Just checked airfare, its up to $700 for a direct flight :o . I still owe you some grouper with interest ;D Should be able to pay up soon. I would like to go spearfishing in Alaska soon. Has anyone seen discovey's survive Alaska Show? I could really kick some azz on that show! One of the contestants was a real tree hugger and anti-gunner. Things really changed for her after a week of no meat ;D. you could almost see the gleam in their eyes when they were eating the rabbit that they had shot. They were making the ancient connection. The primal instinct of killing and eating was being awakened.
If you like diving, fishing, and hunting, this is the best of all three world's. John, I know once you try it you will be back for more....

I just meant I might show up at the shop for the meeting, not show up for the boat ride!
(I'm still recovering from the Hawaii expenses, so this one didn't have much of a chance.)
