    PI Strike in the Mine!

    Went for a solo spin this lovely day and ran my Aquasearch in clean surf areas. Temps were mid 40s, but I wore my waders to stay a little warmer today. Sun was just starting to break the horizon, as I began at 630A, into a 927A -0.6L and with the NE winds at 5-10, it was blown out another...

She had not been out with me in a while as the temps were beyond her tolerance. This morning's was around 50, sun shining and it...

    Interesting phenomenon on Excal that I observed recently.................

    I was visiting with a pirate friend of mine on the beach the other day while taking a break from surf hunting. We were discussing the Excal and I was telling him how great the unit is. Now don't get me wrong, I still think it is a great unit, but saw something that terrified me! I had found a...

    Went for a spin on sunday AM and got 2!

    Went for a solo spin on Sunday AM, with the Excal. Was in the water by 445A setting my buoys into a 527A -0.9L. Have not hunted since 01/02, so my mojo was off the scales as you might imagine. Winds were ESE 10-15 and increasing as I left the surf. Spanky showed up and joined me in the hunt, but...

    Arose when Huntress came to bed at 230A and realized that I had not set my alarm from my nap (from duck hunting), which began at 530P the day before and my low was at 617A and we only have 2 tides! Was in the water by 445A into a 617A -1.3L and NW winds at 10-15. Was deep in the mine anyway...

    Went for a solo spin today, but I was not alone.........

    Ran the Aquasearch today in a clean surf area. Was in the water by 1030A into a 100P 0.0L, but the 5-10 NW winds had the surf pushed out to where I could wade waist deep to the 4th bar. Guess where I was???? Between the 3rd and 4th bar. There was a decent gut between them, but I've seen it much...

    Can lightening really strike in the same area the next day?????????-Look & see!

    Went for a solo spin today to the same area as yesterday. Was in the water by 445A, into a 711A -0.7L and NE winds at 5-10. The wind had the water pushed into this surf area, so it was a little higher than I had hoped for. I simply moved a little further west and set my buoys. I was not using...

    Dad, David and I went duck huntin' on saturday the 16th of Dec. My 2nd duck in my limit of 5 had what we duck hunters call "jewelry". I have been duck hunting with my father since I was a boy and have yet to get my jewelry, but it is a milestone and on my priority list of treasures to obtain...

    Santa visited me early today................Guess what I got?...........

    Since Gulf Hunter does not like cold water, I needed something to keep me warm, but still be able to head for the deep mine areas. Waders have too many limitations. Our surf temperature is 66 degrees. Probably balmy for you yanks, but this reb don't like cold water in my wetsuit at 4 AM, ya...

    Went for a spin on monday with Huntress. She had repoed the Excal 800, so I was running the Aquasearch. We had many errands in the am, but were finally in the water by 1115P, with ESE 15-20, into a 126P 0.1L. It was a little bricky, beyond the 3rd bar but not too bad closer in. We were hunting...

    Excal mods, while at the factory questions.........

    My Excal 1000 is at Vegas for warranty work. I am hesitant about modding it, because I still have 2 years left on my ESP. I am seriuosly thinking about adding the Gray Ghost submersible headphones and Sunray S-12 coil, but would not consider installing them unless the factory did it for me. Will...
