Now I see why you are so concerned with saftey! A pull start lawnmower engine, now thats crazy! I sure am hoping your heeding your own advice!

You must have visited the Briggs and Stratton website. Nope dorado50, we don't use the lawn mower types in the Philippines.

The engine types pack bigger horsepower. They are also used for agricultural applications like powering pumps, rice threshers, hand tractors, mills, etc.

The Philippine term "Pumpboat" comes from the agricultural pump use of the very sturdy, hardy and safe Briggs and Stratton.

I assure you the sea to market catches in the Philippines are powered by the best U.S. designed Briggs and Stratton. Without them there would be no seafood or banca fishing.

Crazy? Only for fishing! By the way.... i have my own set of boat Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), observe safety and have made good calls while out in the open.

I have one saying that I advise to newbies: The moment you don't respect the sea.... It can kill you.

Cheers!

My buddies friend was fishing catalina last year when some gal in a kayak paddled by and asked him a question about the tides or something. Anyways she paddled off and was'nt 20 yards from the boat when a large great white hit her kayak from the bottom and sent her flying straight up into the air and when she came down she landed on top of it and spooked it away. The guys in the boat pulled anchor and raced over to get her out of the water and aside from crapping her pants she was ok and very lucky. It's only a matter of time before a mako or great white kill a kayaker in so. cal waters. I think kayaks are cool and all but not in waters w/ big, mean hungry fish.

Hiya David. Checkout www.sharkshield.com

The Shark Shield is patented and modified from the South African Shark Pod. It gives out an electromagnetic field that disrupts the sensory organs in the snout of the biggest predators.

It is used by the Australian Special Forces. The device is good for kayaks and surfboards.

No can do!!! Does not work for all types of sharks. Could potentially scare off fish and just another device on a kayak that could interfere with that trophy fish. Sorry............

It works David... C'mon read the info. You have nothing to lose.

Sorry but the sharkshield is a bunch of BS! Nonong...I have some "magic hooks" that you can use without bait. They are guaranteed to catch a fish on every drop. $50 bucks for a pack of 4......What do you say?

nonong · Jul-11-2009, 08:33 PM

Hahahaha! You can use Asian Sauteed Shrimp Fry as chum for mackerel. Magic hooks? Nope. I did like Magic Rocks tm though. If the Aussie Special Forces and Police use Shark Shield.... you better bet your life on it as it really works!

Cheers!
