Sunday w/Capt Earl

Tell Ann great shots. That Butterfly is fantastic.

So you didnt catch them or you couldnt bring them home after landing them? Still confused.

I grabbed a total of three bugs. Two on our first night dive Sat and 1 on our first dive Sun. I didn't have a bag either time because I didn't expect to see any. I caught em anyway for the practice, but didn't really want to stick em in Ann's wetsuit

I see now. Thanks!

You could have just emoved the tales under water and placed them in your BC pocket. Just an idea for next time.

GRD - Bugs must be landed whole unless the boat you're on has a tailing permit. The water cops will hammer you otherwise.

 

[Salmonboy97]

If you turn the bug over onto its back placing your hand on its "belly", it will wrap it legs around you and you could have tried to bring it back by hand. In this position the bug will hold onto you too making him easier to control.
Of course you would only be able to do one of these per dive, per diver. You would also loose the use of that hand the the remainder of the dive.
It is also illegal to catch them without a guage, even if they are large enough.

Alternately you could have used those "GIANT" pockets in Anns BC - not. Arent they ridiciously tiny?? I hate mine.

Todd check out the Turkey Fry, if you are interested, it is in my sig line.

So III I guess you'll be like the rest of us, watching football. That is of course unless you are going to build a ramp :rofl2:
