No reference to a fish cannon at your link. ??? 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. I have no idea what a fish cannon is unless you are talking down riggers. Oh no. Not you too! :-) |
