Idk, im Hawaiian so I dont follow most of the federal and state laws. I just go with the seasons the Hawaiians used to gather, grow or fish for food.


I know on boat you have to get certified to bottom fish and also run a sticker identifying you as that, on top of boat registration and boat operating license…but I dont know anything about that.

 

anything deeper than 7ft is all the same for swimming! either way you cant touch the bottom! we've done a few swim calls way out there. it starts with just one little sharky checking you out, then before you know it BAM theres like 30 of them little bastards swarming ya. it was pretty sweet swimming as far down as you could and still being able to see the boat. beautiful blue water.

 

I was just talking to another guy about that this last weekend…and the main reason why I dont dive murky water…or water off of rivers. Even swimming in rivers and feeling sticks and stuff in the water gives me the chills. Too many people get bitten in murky water….I need to atleast see around me.


Stoked on diving too…didnt have fins so just stayed near shore. If we were staying another night the tako would be awesome for bait, but gonna try dehydrate it today.

 

id rather swim with sharks than dolphins! at least I know what sharks are thinking! dolphins have those darn rape caves. crazy mammals.

 

What trips me out…and something I probably wont do…is deep sea dive at the buoys. Man, we will be handlining fish and dolphins and sharks will come right by and suck it right off the line. Theyll be a shark or two around and then couple yards from the buoy has 2 or 3 guys going in. The sharks really do come around when they palu/toss bait into the water…it attracts the fish, but it also attracts those sharks!

 

Im not sure if I wanna know what rape caves are….maybe I should carry a bang stick when I go diving too, to avoid that?

 

yea I definitely wouldn't go in the water after chumming it up! that's just asking for trouble.

 

haha just make sure you aim for their monkey lips! (blowhole)

 

Believe or not…people do it just for fun…some even pay to do that!

Ok that doesnt sound fun and im not sure if I wanna believe that….but I wouldnt wanna know either.

With all these missing people, who knows. Maybe that film was made and paid for by the sharks to distract the attention away from them? hahaha, there was a guy who testified about it being a wonderful sight swimming and watching the dolphins breed…and that others should experience it themself. This was at a meeting concerning the banning of commercial dolphin tours where they find dolphins and swim with them. Sometimes they need to chase the dolphins and corral them to keep them in an area. The commerical operators threw a hissy fit and want to ban fishing within the porpoise schools. This is actually going on and I want to slap the shit out of some of these commercial diving boat owners. Some of these companies do manta ray feeding and swimming tours too.
I dont actually know anyone who was attacked by a dolphin but occasionally one or two need to be taken out to control the population and to keep the fish on the hook while out at the buoys.

 

haha yup. its a thing!

 

After work today !

 

It was on a road from Uncle Roberts back to Hilo. We meant to take 130 but went the wrong way. Started back on the red road towards Kapoho and I think we turned up Opihakao Dr, which eventually got us to the 130. But it was an interesting drive - very rural with no lights, signs, etc... He just stood there as I stopped the car, hit the high beams and took a pic (from inside the car).

 

What the hell is that white shit?

 

This must have been on the west side? I hear the east side is getting biblical rain - I'm seeing reports of 4-5 inches per day over the last several days. Good thing the ground is mostly porous lava rock, although there is still flooding...

 

Take a look at this one. My GF is friends with Hank and goes duck hunting with his wife. I don't hunt but from what I understand he is highly rated and respected.
