Gone Fishin’!

My husband bought the 100% wool, cream-colored sweater in London and it smells strongly of animals… just like a barn! It’s beautiful, and I want to be able to wear it, but don’t know how to get the smell out of it and am afraid of ruining it. Any advice, anyone?

Try this stuff called Approach. I used to use it on my ex g/f’s wool sweater when it reeked of cig smoke.

I sprayed the sweater all over heavily, then turned it inside out and sprayed it again. If the odor was heavy I’d do it twice, stretching slightly to help it get inside the fibers.

It’s a water-based natural spray, so there are no chemicals to damage the wool. I’ve yet to see an odor it can’t tackle so I’d say give it a shot.

Good luck!

Based on the novel: The Perfect Storm. I need 5 reasons I have three but I need some more. The main one is money.

Money

adventure

danger

catching big fish

feeling free for a moment without confinements

commonality

the sense of belonging to a team

addiction to the sea ( or the fumes from the engine but lets not count that one. ; ) )

brotherhood

competition

the feeling of being the best at what you know and do

hands on work with all of the above

he will not jerk the line because it will break , so he will reel it gradually and smoothly so it will hold. why? can somebody explain according to newton’s laws of motion.

Basically, inertia. A body at rest wants to stay a rest, a moving body wants to stay moving. With gentle pressure on the line (within it’s breaking strain) the shark will start to move, as it moves it will take less effort to keep it moving. If it was jerked from a standstill, the inertia is such that the load could exceed the breaking strain of the line.

When the shark comes to the surface, it would need to be lifted out as the water will no longer offer boyancy and the weight of sharky will break the line.

Ha! That was a mouthful!

My 31 year old boyfriend is a union electrician, a big time fisherman, he loves hard death metal and is a drummer in a kick a** metal band www.myspace.com/sickerthanmostband .

There are so many different avenues! Should I get him something from all of his loves? Should I focus on one thing? And the WHAT - Please give me ideas as to what I should get him.

I would suggest getting him just one or two things, so you won’t overwhelm him with too many gifts at once and that’ll leave you with more options for future Christmases, birthdays, etc.

Get him something electronic; some new fishing gear; a heavy-metal T-shirt from his favorite store or catalog; a CD by (or a book or movie about) one of his favorite metal bands or artists; or some combination thereof.

I don’t have an auger yet and when my friend opened them he used a gas powered auger. It’s a pain to lug it around on return trips and at times I’m solo. Will a couple sticks in the hole keep it from refreezing?

Redrilling an old hole is one of the best ways to bend an auger shaft. It’s easier and safer to drill a new hole next to the old one. Using a chisel to reopen old holes can often save a lot of time. In the spring when the ice starts to soften I don’t bring my auger. I can chisel through spring ice faster than I can start the auger. If you are just getting into ice fishing consider a hand auger. You can buy a good one for under $100. With sharp blades it will go through 2 feet of ice in under a minute.

How can a person become a commercial fisherman? Are there requirements a person must have?
I’m not talking about specific kinds of commercial fishing, I’m just wondering how a person can become a commercial fisherman (doesn’t matter what fish they are fishing for) just overall commercial fishing.

Contact NOAA Fisheries and your state fisheries department.

I am graduating High School in June and I am thinking about becoming a commercial fisherman. I think it would be fun and exciting, at least for a while. I think it would be a good job for me because I don’t like dealing with the public and I’d much rather be doing physical labor than sitting behind a desk in an office building. I also love the sea. My question is, what do I have to do before a boat captain will hire me?

talk to them? You need no training, certificate or degree to work the nets.

I need some help with this. I have tried and I keep getting 33.56 degrees. Thanks for the help.

Angles of incidence and refraction are measured from the vertical.

The diver sees the sun at 47deg. above horizontal. That is:
90 - 47
= 43 deg. to the vertical.

The fisherman sees the sun at x deg. above horizontal. That is:
90 - x deg. to the vertical.

Therefore:
sin(90 - x) / sin(43) = 1.33
cos(x) / sin(43) = 1.33
x = 24.90 deg.
