SAVE WET ELECTRONICS WITH RICE

SAVE WET ELECTRONICS WITH RICE

if your camera, cell phone, or other device accidentally gets wet when
you are traveling (or at home), try the following tricks to save wet
electronics:

** 1. Do NOT turn it on if it is wet. Remove the battery and memory
card and leave all the doors and covers on the device open so it can
dry.

** 2. Vacuum it out. If you try drying the device with a fan or a blow
dryer, you risk pushing moisture deeper onto the circuitry. This could
cause a short. Instead, pull moisture away from the device with a
vacuum.

** 3. Bury it in dry rice. Rice absorbs moisture from nearby objects.
If your camera gets wet, drop it into a container of rice and let it
sit for a day. The rice will help pull the moisture out.

** 4. Power it back up. After your camera or phone spends a full day
submerged in rice, reinsert the battery and cards, and turn it on. If
it does not work, call the manufacturer. Do not try to hide the fact
that it got wet. There are internal indicators in most devices that
show water damage.

AKA Kahula Kites Catch Fish;


Brand New AKA Big Game Fishing Kite

Getting More Bangs for Your Bucks!

When You Want Your Monies Worth & a Trophy to show for it, use a Kahula Kites.

I remember when life was simple and the only thing that mattered was getting your kite to fly. I also remember my dad saying, “Watch that power lines son,” as I scampered out the door. We would spend hours adding just enough tail to keep the kite straight and ride bicycles with the kite string tied to the fenders as the kite suspended in the air 30 or 40 feet above us. On calm days, we would run sometimes forever and a block trying to launch our kite. There were the store bought brands you put together or grandpa would talk of how there was a day where you had to make one to go fly a kite. I still enjoy kite flying; only today, it is from a beach, pier or stern of a boat! In addition, the kites I fly today are very different from the newsprint and balsa wood versions suggested by grandpa or from those heavy brand named kites we purchased at the five and dime. The kites I use today are of a high tech variety and I use them but for one purpose, to catch fish. There are but a few out there and most are over priced and come with no guarantee other than you will receive one once purchased. Some of these kites are used from the shorelines to over come obstacles like rocks or sand bars in a delusively method to bait presentation and others are for inshore/offshore use on fishing vessels.Large Kite - 34" x 34"

Featherweight Fiber/Carbon Spars - Kite Weights Only 3.8 oz.

ओवेर्सिजेद मच्केरेल मेंस किंग्स ओं थे वे...

Zippity Do DA, Zippity Day, My Oh my what a windy ole’ day; Winds continue to be heavy, setting back any coming of kingfish by at least a week। Anglers should be using a variety of baits, such as white bait to straws in bagging bragging rights to some of the biggest Spanish mackerel seen in years just off the beaches of inshore Florida। Larger mackerel have invaded the artificial reefs 5 to 7 miles offshore along with scattered kingfish. During the daytime, pompano and nice-size sea trout are being caught in the holes adjacent to the flats, and Reds are found tailing falling tides along side channels to docks.

Ban on Gag Grouper Fishing Killing Florida’s Economy

Federal and state fishery managers have closed recreational fishing in the Gulf of Mexico for gag starting February 01, 2009 and continuing until March to stop overfishing. Overfishing means gags caught at an unstained rate, although gag stocks do not suggest evidence of overfishing; go figure how this came about without evidence in a decision to cost southwest Floridians millions in lost revenues. Out of all the time in which to pick a closure, the council closes the season down during a time when this type of fishing is at a peak in bring in angling dollars in state to merchant revenues. A trickle down effect could cause small businesses to close and tourist dollars to go elsewhere. Tourist to locals who spend money to go private charter fishing target the first three months of the year as the best opportunity in catching a grouper and will plan their trips accordingly around this angling event. Peak Snowbird season (tourists) is February and March of any given year. With this new ruling, it doubles last year's original recreational closure, from Feb. 15 to March 15. At a time where housing is at a rock bottom low and the dollar in a stimulus mode why, would anyone wish more ills on an already plagued state of economical failings? This closure may need to be but not at a time where people are depending on Gag dollars to pay the bills. By placing an additional ban on gag grouper by extending the closed season through Florida’s peak tourists time, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Southeast Region and the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council are killing Florida’s economy in Gag Dollars. These dollars represented in the forms of lost tackle sales, fuel sales, charter captain sales, fishing license sales, food, and ice and lodging all lost because of bad timing. In a time where we are all pinching pennies, someone needs to do their homework before taking dollars away area anglers and local merchants.

Florida Great White Sharks: frenzy in the Gulf

[FWC/NOAA (2007)]
This white shark head was seized by federal and state authorities from a Seminole storage facility in 2007, where
the jaws of this estimated 10- to 12-footer caught in the gulf could be worth $20,000 on the black market.

Commercial shark season recently opened in the Gulf of Mexico, but anglers should know they might get more than they bargained for if they are angling for jaws.
This is the time of year that big bulls are out on the beaches at night delivering pups between the bars with a hunger and thirst for fresh meat. If they can catch their own first-born and they do often, it goes back inside as a meal. The Venice City Pier located at Sharky’s on the Pier 1600 Harbor Drive South, sets some three hundred feet outside the last sandbar or just over seven-hundred feet from the waters edge, making it as a pearl in location for catching big winter sharks. Zebco need not apply here at night as only the mighty are amongst the victors at fights end; Penn, Avet, International, Accurate to name but a few are the names of equipment in aid to the Venice pier anglers who are in pursuit of the biggest and best shark to claim as their own. Baits range from Barracuda to Kingfish heads and reel sizes from a cheeky 4/0 to massive workhorses in the 18/0 category, one speed or two, four hundred pound test leaders and hooks to match in strength, shark fisherman are serious in their quest to be the best. Many a large predator has but picked up bait and made that long zinging sound of a reel groaning in action, only to keep right on going and spooling out five-hundred yards of line to tail whipping a four hundred pound test leader at twelve feet in length. Even better yet, to an amazing surprise of a straitened out 12/0 hook or bit in half wire leader to match none! These great sharks are the ones that got away. I wonder if it could be…
Florida Great White Sharks.
