I like that feature, but I don't see it in the West Marine catalog.

But it may be similar to a "herring charge". When my granddad served on destroyer escorts in the British Navy, WWI, detecting a German U boat always resulted in fresh fish for dinner. In his personal log from the war, he describes how the mess hands would run out on deck with long handled nets during depth charge runs and scoop up huge quantities of stunned fish. Sometimes you hear about rednecks supposedly doing some catfishin' with dynamite. Probably 99% urban legend, but the results would be similar to Grandpa's depth charges- if on a smaller scale. |

Chuck, you have a big boat, but you can't afford new glasses? Look at the picture, directly above the guy in the yellow helmet. It's a fish cannon. I am not in the mood to explain simple things tonight. Get with the program, please. |

Not you too! :-) Well, I've never heard of a "fish cannon". It looks like the type of artillery that uses a rocket powered shell of some sort, but why they would call it a fish cannon I have no idea. Got a reference to fish cannon? |

Well around here the local rednecks are much more stealth, than to use things that make a big BOOM! What is the most illegal way to fish in these parts? find an old crank telephone generator, attach a wire to the output and throw it over one side of the boat, attach a ground wire to the frame of thee generator, and throw it over theotherside. then crank like heck. Fish start bellying up to the top. I've personally never been involved with such play, but know several who have. Getting caught by the US or IL-DOC, isn't a pretty sight , people have been known to get their boats, trucks, etc. confiscated, PLUS major strains on the wallet for fines and the threat of jail time. Best not to mess with it. |
