All this to kill and damage the reef and its inhabitants. Spiny lobsters taste like sh.t anyway. They, like Escargot, serve only as a medium for transport large amounts of saturated fats and garlic. Once frozen, they are totally tasteless and have the texture of rubber tires. The afficionados just like to kill sh.t, and torture it in the bargain. The grand climax for all bug-lovers, is wrenching the tails off the living animals, breaking off an antenna and shoving it up their a.s to pull out the intestines. The heads and bodies are still alive and usually just tossed into the water to die a slow agonizing death as what remains of their flesh is picked at by crabs and other small fish. Really swell stuff. >> What's yer point? > > Every year, thousands of divers that hardly ever dive, go out and poach > and take shorts and kill sh.t.

Love to stay and chat, but I have to go diving. Crab season is open, and I am going to dive for some (with my BP and wing, with double LP 95's), take them alive, pack them together into a catch bag, bring them to the surface, against their will, keep them alive for a short while in a big cooler full of salt water until I get them to my house. Normally, most people just chuck them in the boiling water live. To be killed and tortured at the same time they are cooked, I guess they must like it that way. Me, a more merciful and intellectual being, don't so them in such a hideous way. I turn 'em over, punch a hole in their sternum, which kills them instantly, rip their backs off, bust the body of the crab into two pieces, rip their gills off, rip their lips off, shake their guts out into a bucket (which we return to the sea along with the shells and remaining flesh to be feasted upon by other fish and bugs), rinse them under cold running water, and *then* chuck them into the boiling water. Then, we serve them with a nice salad made of local stuff grown in the run-off and flood plains of the Olympic foothills, sourdough toast with garlic and gorgonzola butter, and various things to dip them in such as rooster sauce, habanera sauce, a delightful sauce made with horseradish and Walla Walla onion mustard, and <gasp> melted butter and garlic. They don't scream, no one dies, and as I have always said, you can have my issue of all them rubbery ole lobster butts, I'll take the dungies. > Me, a more merciful and intellectual being, don't so them in such a hideous > way. If you wanted to do them justice, you would just eat them live, like a wolf eel. > If you wanted to do them justice, you would just eat them live, like a > wolf eel. Take a good look at the scars on a wolf eels face. Saw three mating pairs of wolfies this morning, along with some lightbulb tunicates (1st time ever in the area we were diving, and only in one spot), and another first was watching some pile perch munching on barnacles. The vermillion rockfish were in big numbers, and there was a hatch of somekind that made the dive look like swimming through clouds of mosquitos. These gents have put together an excellent photo gallery of typical PNW underwater life. http://www.seaotter.com/index.html > Saw three mating pairs of wolfies this morning, along with some lightbulb > tunicates (1st time ever in the area we were diving, and only in one spot), > and another first was watching some pile perch munching on barnacles. how long is the crab season? > > Saw three mating pairs of wolfies this morning, along with some lightbulb > > tunicates (1st time ever in the area we were diving, and only in one spot), > > and another first was watching some pile perch munching on barnacles. > > how long is the crab season?

What I remember is Jerome's description of the crab pinning the cat in the corner of the kitchen. At that point I figured it would be best never to my back on a dungeness. >>> If you wanted to do them justice, you would just eat them live, like a >>> wolf eel.

Man, I'm jealous (back spasms have temporarily landed me). What's the water temp out there these days? Since I can't go diving this weekend, I ordered a dry suit. When it gets here I'm gonna go jump in Vortex and try it out. How's the shell collecting out there? Dead shell collecting, of course...

Unfortunately, I missed my annual day-after-mini-season new gear collecting trip. Was hoping for a snare (I really like to kill sh.t) or two and maybe a new mask. Oh well, maybe there will be some gear left Sunday morning. >> What's yer point? > [quoted text clipped - 44 lines] > > Really swell stuff. I have never been there for it, nor plan on in the future. The lobsters we take, we eat. Not hordes, there is a limit of 6. And with the dive population here in the North East being as small as it is, the impact on lobsters or fish in general is nowhere near as great. And, we don't lose people to greed of the season. And about the taste of those spiny's, they are tasteless and will taste like rubber when frozen. I can see the reefs getting pounded while someone tries to snare a lobster. > Three dead already http://tinyurl.com/prsv6 > > Every year it kills at least one.

Florida wouldn't be that bad if they could manage to deport the damn Yankees that keep wanting to retire there... Yeah, there's the occasional hurricane each month or so, but that just gives it a bit more character... As far as the lizards (i.e. gators) go, they just make the fresh water diving so much more interesting... They also make body disposal so much easier since they also digest the bones... Up where you're at, the crabs just pick the meat off the bones... > Florida wouldn't be that bad if they could manage to deport the damn > Yankees that keep wanting to retire there... Yeah, there's the > occasional hurricane each month or so, but that just gives it a bit No matter where you live, you have to deal with Mother Nature in some form. Earthquakes, raging wildfires, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards - you're not "safe" anywhere. The nice thing about hurricanes (if there is such a thing) is that you get many days notice it's coming. That, and they tend to scare the bejesus out of Yankees... :) a native, Chris >> That's what you get for living in a stinking, lizard and >> self-absorbed-a.shole infested shithole like Florida, and catching scrawny [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >body disposal so much easier since they also digest the bones...

Yeah!! Only butt meat! And no claws to fight back. You gotta try the lobsters up here (NY/NJ). They have claws and fight back and don't cluster under some piece of coral head or sumptin'. These hide... deep in pieces of wreckage. You have to actually hunt for 'em. And, they taste better too! > >>Three dead already http://tinyurl.com/prsv6 > >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > in pieces of wreckage. You have to actually hunt for 'em.
