Deep Dropping Fishing Videos

Cracking the 1000 lb barrier there is one location where it is regularly done. Dave Devine and I fished it, and while neither of us managed to crack the 'grand', we each took a fish in excess of 900 pounds in successive drops in more than 1500 feet of water. Views: 515 Rating: (2 ratings)

Puerto Nuevo Lobster Village Located just approximately 12 minutes south of Rosarito. Puerto Nuevo-style lobster has been a phenomenon since 1956, when several women in the tiny fishing village south of Rosarito started dropping fresh lobsters into pots of bubbling oil and serving them to a few outsiders. Last year, the still-small-but-now-bustling Puerto Nuevo served more than 672,000 deep-fried California rock lobsters. Dozens of restaurants in Rosarito and the surrounding area served more. More than 250 tons of the bottom-crawling crustaceans are pulled from Baja California waters each year just to feed the frenzy of lobster-loving tourists. Hundreds of additional tons are shipped in from elsewhere between mid-February and mid-September, when harvesting Baja California lobster is ille I NEED TO FINISH THE SITE BY THIS WEEK.....SO PLEASE EVERYONE.....

Southern Fried Chicken . Part 1...Read Description and Pt. 2 READ HERE * Trailkeeper shows us how basic fried chicken is made. Also see Part 2 for more great info. that you should not miss. Ok, some things were not in the video which I should mention, you can also see Part 2 that I made for this, and the link is below. First a word of health, try not to eat deep fried chicken more than once a week, and more than three times a month. If you eat more chicken in the prescribed time period, please bake it. You can put it in tinfoil on a cooking sheet for good results. I used boneless chicken breast meat that is sometimes called something like "meat for chicken tenders". At my local store, it cost about $3.59 per pound processed, and another store it was only $1.88 per pound regular. If you don't cook the chicken after buying it in the store, you can place it into the refridgerator or freezer. If you do freeze it, you will have to defrost it. There are many methods. Microwave (not recomended unless you take your time with it), leaving it out to thaw for a few hours, or sticking the wrapped chicken into a pot of warm water (be sure to add some hot water if it cools off later). When you get this meat, it usually still has a tendon still left in it. It is hard to chew and it is recomended that you remove it. This can be easilly done by a method Trailkeeper has invented. I take needle-nose type of pliers and grab the end of the white tendon, and then with a fork in the other hand I postion the tendon between the prongs of the fork (the fork is positioned between the pliers and meat) and hold the fork still in position and pull the remaining tendon through the fork. See Part 2 for a vid. of this. If you can, it is a good idea to obtain some stainless steel needle-nose type of pliers. I've seem some at K-Mart or "Big-K" in the fishing/outdoors section. These won't rust and are more "food safe" than plain steel. If you want a more uniform cooking, you can press the chicken strips flat before cooking. You can use a fork or some other utensil to do this. I also did not (because I forgot) dip the chicken with batter on it into bread crumbs. You can get spiced bread crumbs by the pound in most grocery stores at a cheap price. The method is to first dip the chicken into the breading (a liquid - before frying - about the consistency of runny pudding) and then into the bread crumbs that will coat and stick to the breading liquid. Of course, you don't really have to use bread crumbs..your breading will then be something like, if you have seen, Aurther Treaches or Long John Silver's beading on their fish. A basic breading recipe is flour (say 1 cup to start with) and water. You can then add other things such as an egg yolk, milk, salt, pepper, spices. Be sure to mix it all up good. Some people also put spices right onto the chicken. You can use a deep fryier or a pan as I did, but remember don't ever fill them up too much. Perhaps for a deep fryier it can be 3/4 full and for a pan I recommend a maximum of 1/2 full. Why? Because if the oil were to spill over it could all catch fire. And if there is a deep fryier/pan oil fire, don't through water on it since this can cause the oil to be thrown and splatterd and cause a much larger fire. And the water steam/oil mix is quite flamable it seems. See, the oil when heated up to cooking temperature, say 350F, any water that comes into contact with the oil will boil/expand rapidly with a tremendous force and cause splattering since water boils at only 212F. Keep people away from the deep fryer when it is cooking and hot. With the "shallow fry" method of the pan, you will usually turn the chicken tenders over so that the other side is cooked good. Do this when the bottom side is a golden brown, if darker than that, than that breading may be too crunchy or hard. First pre-heat the oil up to cooking temperature before placing the tenders into the oil for cooking. Test a drop of the batter to see if it "bubbles" and cooks, if so, then your ready. If you want to check if your tenders are done after cooking on both sides, take a thick piece onto a plate and cut it at the thick part. If you see any reddish pink meat then you obviously did not cook it all the way yet. At the end of the vid. I through in a celebration which is some video footage from July 4, 2007. Here is the link for Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pK2RpgCw5nQ I recently found an online vid. for chicken tenders (some foreign countries call them chicken goujons): http://ifoods.blogspot.com/2007/03/chicken-tendersor-goujons.html For the "YouTube" of cooking, please visit and/or upload to: http://www.ImCooked.com Views: 19620 Rating: (2 ratings)

SCUBA DIVING Turneffe is remote and beautiful with crystal clear waters noted for a parade of marine life. Approximately 30 miles in length and 10 miles wide, the Turneffe Atoll, by itself, offers as much diving area as Grand Cayman, Cozumel, or Bonaire. Diving Overview: With approximately 60 logged dive sites on the Turneffe Atoll alone, diversity and flexibility describe Turneffe Flats diving. A typical day includes two dives in the morning and a third in the afternoon. Uncrowded is another good description of Turneffe Flats diving as we limit divers to 12 per week. Weather permitting, your week at Turneffe Flats will include a trip to Lighthouse Reef where you will dive the famous Blue Hole and Half Moon Caye Wall ($40 per person entrance fee not included). A night dive is also included. Sample Dives: There is such a diversity of diving available on the Turneffe Atoll that it is difficult to do justice to all the options. Most of your dives will be from 40-80 feet with the majority being drift dives. On the west side of the atoll, popular dives include The Terrace, which begins in 35-40 feet of water and has a sheer drop-off decorated with Elephant Ear Sponges and bushes of Black Coral. Rendezvous Cut features huge deep-water gorgonians that mark the entrance to a wide sandy chute and a sloping wall decorated with enormous barrel sponges. Eel Gardens is named for the thousands of garden eels that inhabit the area along with razor fish, moray eels and stingrays. A sample of popular dives on the eastern side of the Atoll include Jo Jos Splits with huge coral formations, lots of reef fish and palagics in the deeper water, and The Chutes featuring a spur and groove system alive with marine life, yellow tube sponges and huge barrel sponges. Just minutes north of Turneffe Flats, youll dive a spot called Wonder World, which features a meandering trail of huge coral formations and a dramatic drop off starting at 65 feet. On the southern end of the Atoll, the Elbow is a favorite dive for many guests. The elbow is a drift dive at 60-80 feet. While diving at the Elbow you will see huge schools of permit, horse-eye jack and dog snapper. In addition, you are likely to see eagle rays, sharks, turtles and some pelagics. A Sample of Our Marine Life The primary reason you want to dive at Turneffe is the abundance and variety of marine life. From the very small to the large, there is plenty to look at. You will see all of the Caribbean reef tropicals as well as a wide variety of larger marine life. You are almost certain to see stingrays, eagle rays, green turtles, hawksbill turtles, moray eels, dolphins, several varieties of sharks, and large schools of permit, snapper, and jacks. If you are lucky, you may also have the opportunity to dive with whale sharks. The abundance of marine life at Turneffe amazes even the most experienced diver. Weather and Visibility: Surface temperatures average 84 and vary from 75-95 throughout the year. Water temperature varies from 78-82. Average visibility is around 75-80 feet and can be 100 feet or more. Rarely does inclement weather keep us from diving. Our unique location on the atoll allows us to get to the lee side and out of the wind and waves regardless of wind direction. Views: 252 Rating: (0 ratings)

Trace Adkins - Songs About Me - Toyota Texas Bass Classic Trace Adkins - Songs About Me - Trace Adkins video by Lisa LeVrier http://www.lonestaroutdoornews.com Home lake knowledge helps team move from 11th place to the lead By Craig Nyhus Local favorite Lance Vick landed 21 pounds on Saturday morning to help elevate the team of Kelly Jordon, David Smith, David Walker and Vick to the lead at the Toyota Texas Bass Classic at Lake Fork. The team moved from 11th place to the top of the leaderboard when the four anglers' brought in a two-day total of 122 pounds, 12 ounces. Vick was silent about his techniques when questioned on the stage with the crowd and other competitors listening, but he told Lone Star Outdoor News he caught his fish on his signature pattern -- deep-diving crankbaits. But where he found the fish will remain a secret until after Sunday's final. Defending champion captain Terry Scroggin's team of Scroggins, Russ Lane, Craig Dowling and Shaw Grigsby finished Day 2 in second place with 115 pounds, and the team of Chad Morganthaler, Matt Reed, Brian Penso and Stacey King moved up to third with 101 pounds, 4 ounces. The battle Saturday afternoon determined what five would continue fishing Sunday, when the top five teams will battle for the $250,000 top prize. Bobby Lane's team of Byron Velvick of Del Rio, Chad Brauer and Ben Matsubu finished the day in fourth with 97 pounds, 12 ounces, and Mike Iaconelli's team of Danny Correia, Randy Howell, Cliff Pace and Iaconelli made it to the final day with 92 pounds, 8 ounces. That left the team of Jeff Kriet, James Niggemeyer, Mark Rose and Kevin Short 5 pounds short of the finals. David Wolak's team led after Day 1, but struggled on Day 2 to drop to 10th. A swimbait bite that worked for many of the teams died with the wind on Saturday afternoon, when a breezy morning turned into a balmy afternoon. Iaconelli thought he had the big bass of the day (8 pounds) until Gary Klein of Weatherford, Jimmy Mize and Ray Sedgwick each brought in fish weighing 8 pounds, 4 ounces. Bobby Lane's 11 pound, 12 ounce largemouth from Day 1 still holds onto the big bass lead. But Iaconelli was positive about his team fishing in the finals. "We found two glory holes," said Mike Iaconelli. "We feel good about our chances." In Sunday's final, all four anglers from each team will fish both the morning and the afternoon sessions, with the winning team sharing the $250,000 top prize. Views: 1397 Rating: (0 ratings)

Big Island of Hawaii, Fishing - Tom Barefoot Visit http://www.tombarefoot.com for more information. Big Island of Hawaii Fishing Charters - The very best place for sport fishing in all of Hawaii is off the Kona coast of the Big Island. Not only is the fishing great but the fishing grounds actually begin within a few hundred yards of the harbor. This is probably due to the fact that the Kona Coast of the Big Island actually drops off thousands of feet just off shore making it available to the deep water fish making their way up from the depths. One of the great things about fishing in Kona is that because the fishing is so good there are many boats fishing there, and because there are many boats, the pricing is generally better than is found on other islands.

Mim: There's something going on with my dad, but I didn't want Maya to tell me. Kevin: Don't you think if something's going on with your Dad, you should know. Mim: HE WASN'T THERE FOR ME FOR 11 YEARS!! WHY SHOULD I BE THERE FOR HIM?!?!?!!? I ran to my bunk in tears. Sierra came and sat in there with me. We just held each other, crying. Sierra: It's ok.

Sensational Sicily - An Overview Presented by Alessandro Sorbello http://www.alessandrosorbello Sensational Sicily http://www.sensationalsicily.com SICILY Provinces: Palermo, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zASbi4_L4rM Agrigento, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZr3PHeapSc Caltanissetta, Catania, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkG6Xq-9v00 Enna, Messina, Ragusa, Siracusa, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ_w6m31QY8 Trapani, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut97_ZrRp04 This is the biggest island in the Mediterranean, separated from the Italian peninsula by the strait of Messina. It has important mountain groups: Peloritani, Nebrodi, Madonie, Iblei. The coasts offers a landscape of beauty almost everywhere; groups of smaller islands are scattered round the coast (the Eolie or Lipari, Ustica, the Egadi. the isle of Pantelleria and the Pelagie). The Etna, rising in the center of a volcanic area of Sicily, is the highest active volcano in Europe (3,323 mt). The isles of Stromboli and Vulcano also are active volcanoes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WQk-YQjl9g PALERMO Historical Palermo sits compactly around one central crossroads, the Quattro Canti, which is at the core of four distinct quarters. The Albergheria and the Capo quarter, the latter beyond the cathedral, lie roughly west of Via Maqueda; the Vucciria and old harbour of La Cala and the La Kalsa, lie to the east, closest to the water. In these areas you'll find virtually all the surviving ancient monuments and buildings of the city: the hybrid Norman-Arab-Baroque Cattedrale Sannta Maria Assunta and nearby Palazzo dei Normanni (Royal Palace), with its superb, mosaic-decorated chapel, the Cappella Palatina; the glorious Norman churches of La Martorana and San Giovanni degli Eremeti; the Baroque opulence of San Giuseppe dei Teatini. Located in the center of Palermo, near Via Libertà.and Piazza Croci, Villa Trabia is one of the few aristocratic homes open to the public. This estate, which is now owned by the City of Palermo, houses civic offices and a public library. The palace is set in a beautiful wooded park open to the public most days. Built for the Prince of Trabia (Lanza family) in the eighteenth century, Villa Trabia provides a glimpse of the lifestyle of the Palermitan aristocracy of that era. Just outside Palermo you may visit the La Favorita and La Zisa villas and the Capuchin Convent, with its catacombs. http://www.sensationalsicily.com/palermo.html Castelbuono: visit the church Matrice Vecchia and the Ventimiglia castle. Cefalù with its many beaches is an ideal place for a holiday. In town visit the Cathedral, richly decorated with mosaics, the Museum Mandralisca and the Sanctuary of Gibilmanna. Monreale: this town overlooks the "Conca d'Oro," the beautiful valley beyond Palermo and is is world-renowned for its cathedral - S.Maria la Nuova, a dazzling mixture of Arab, Byzantine and Norman artistic styles framed by traditional Romanesque architecture. The beautiful mosaics in the cathedral are said to be one of the world's largest displays of this art and take 6,340 sqm of the duomo's interior surface, covering practically every inch. The masterpiece and key representation is the domineeringly majestic Christ Pantocrator located on the central apse over the main altar. The entire image is 13 meters across and seven meters high.The splendid cloister of the Benedictine abbey alone would make Monreale famous. Located next to the cathedral, these 228 columns, some with mosaic inlay, each with a meticulously stone carved capital, enclose the gardens of the abbey and are really worth a visit. Mondello is a most renowned seaside resort, few kilometres from Palermo with crystal clear water and rich underwater vegetation and caves. Ustica: This is a solitary island (36 miles from Palermo), which has recovered its nature resources thanks to the Marine Reserve that protects its extraordinary seabeds. The under-water flora and fauna are multiplying their species and they can all be visited with guided tours. AGRIGENTO - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZr3PHeapSc Located on a plateau overlooking Sicily's southern coast, Agrigento was founded as Akragas around 582 BC by a group of colonists from Gela, who themselves were the immediate descendants of Greeks from Rhodes and Crete. Akragas was renamed Agrigentum by the Romans, and Girgenti by the Saracens, only to be christened Agrigento in 1927. At the southern limit of the ancient city, in the so-called "Valley of the Temples", the city architects erected their sacred buildings during the fifth century BC. The oldest of Akragas's temples is the Tempio di Ercole, the other ones are the Tempio della Concordia, dated to around 430 BC and perfectly preserved, Tempio di Giunone, Tempio di Giove and the so-called Tempio dei Dioscuri. The medieval city of Agrigento is not without a certain charm. High in the historical center of the city, the Romanesque Gothic cathedral, built during the fourteenth century, still displays some of its medieval character, as does the thirteenth-century Church of San Nicola. Also visit the S.Spirito Abbey and the Museo Archeologico Regionale. http://www.sensationalsicily.com/agrigento.html Canicattì: From Agrigento you may easily reach this town, famous for its grape variety Italia. Visit the church of S. Diego, the Chiesa del Purgatorio, typical of the 18th century, and the richly decorated Chiesa di S. Francesco. Amongst the many beautiful monuments in Canicattì, there is the Mother Church of S.Pancrazio, home to precious pieces of art, like a marble statue representing the Ecce Homo and a painting of the Holy Family with S. Anna and S. Gioacchino. Also the Castello Bonanno, the Torre dell'Orologio (clock tower), the Palazzo of Baron La Lomia and Palazzo Bartocelli. Palma di Montechiaro: founded in 1637 by Prince of Lampedusa Carlo Tomasi. One of his descendants, namely Giuseppe Tomasi of Lampedusa, was the author (1958) of the celebrated novel The Leopard, successively adapted into a film by director Luchino Visconti, about the decline of an aristocratic family of Palermo between 1860, year of Garibaldi's Exploit, and 1910. You can still visit the Castle of Montechiaro at the top of a rocky cliff. Porto Empedocle: in the Località Caos you may visit the home of Luigi Pirandello.

Lampedusa: This small (20 km2 ) calcareous island, scorched by the hot sun all year round and characterised by its African-type landscapes and by the "dammusi" (stone houses), is surrounded by the most transparent Mediterranean waters. The main attraction of Lampedusa is the great solitude of this island and the strong contrast between the aridity of its land, covered with Indian figs, agaves, carobs and low bushy scrub on one hand, and the sharp colours of an extremely crystal-clear sea on the other. Also Linosa, another island, but of vulcanic origin, is worth a visit; its populated area is represented by a little village dominated by the typically "dammusi". Lampione - uninhabited crag with a lighthouse, it lies 20 miles from Lampedusa, can be reached only from there. CATANIA A splendid Baroque City at the slopes of the Etna, from the eighteenth century on, Catania has been considered the second most important city of Sicily. Subjected to the Etna Vulcan, this town has been damaged by lava flows and earthquakes on several occasions. The city has two Roman amphitheatres, one which was built on a pre-existent Greek one and the other which is a completely Roman structure. Visit the Ursino Castle, built on the orders of Emperor Frederick II von Hohenstaufen in the first half of the thirteenth century, and now a museum open to the public. The oldest part of the Duomo (Cathedral) dates back to 1092; it hosts the tombs of Frederick III of Aragona, who ruled from 1296-1337, and the one of Constance, wife of Frederick IV of Aragona. Most of Catania's wide streets and palazzi were built during the eighteenth century, a characteristic is the gray, volcanic stone used in the buildings. This was the period in which noble families from across eastern Sicily, used to build palazzo in Catania, beginning a subtle social and economical rivalry with Palermo. The two most famous citizens are S.Agata, the martyr patroness of the city and Vincenzo Bellini, the opera composer. Stroll through Via dei Cruciferi and visit the churches of S.Benedetto, S.Giuliano and S.Niccolò. http://www.sensationalsicily.com/catania.html Caltagirone: Once the location of a Saracen fortress, this charming mountain town is famous for its hand made, traditional ceramics. There are many cultural bodies who promote this aspect of the city like the Ceramic School and the Ceramic Museum. Since the earthquake of 1693 the night dedicated to S.Giacomo(24/25 July) has been celebrated with huge images made up of colored lights or 'luminarie' which have to illuminate a staircase. The 'Scala' itself has been used since 1785 and just like ancient times over 4000 sand weighted papers cartons 'coppi' containing terracotta lanterns and the finest of oil are used for the illumination. Acireale - The Duomo, S.Sebastiano, walk to S.Maria della Scala - a picturesque fishing village. Pantelleria: The largest of Sicily's islands and just thirty miles from the African coast. An ideal spot for your holiday, with its beautiful beaches, caves and the volcanic Lago di Venere with thermal spring water. The Montagna Grande mountain is surrounded by 24 "cuddle" (small craters that recall the volcanic origins of this islands), lava flows, residues of pumice-stone, basalts, fumaroles and thermal sources (Gadir, Nicà, Satana). There are many grottos where it is possible to take healthy steam baths; one of the most famous ones is the 'Stufa' (stove) del Bagno di Arturo near Sibà. SIRACUSA Until Roman times, this was the most powerful and magnificent city in all Sicily. Today, it is an impressive and intriguing sight, with a mixture of late Baroque architecture - vivid yet damaged by the passage of time, and the reconstruction of the city following the terrible earthquake of 1693 - and ancient classical architecture. It is situated in an exquisite landscape of sea, rocks and Mediterranean vegetation. Siracusa may be divided in several areas. The most ancient part of town is the island of Ortigia, linked to the mainland by the Ponte Nuovo. Have a stroll and look at the Fonte Aretusa, related to the myth of the goddess Diana's nymph.

Also interesting the Mannerist building - Monte di Pietà and the church Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani. A short way from the Duomo, this church was built in the 12th century during the Norman rule and remodelled later on by the Catalans. The apse is a fine specimen of the Norman composite style, that combines Roman, Moorish and Byzantine features. The Duomo has been rebuilt in Norman style, after the earthquake of 1908. From the inside you may access the Treasury, which displays a fine collection of religious objects and vestments, reliquaries, candlesticks, chalices and a fine 1600's monstrance, containing a host. The astronomical clock on the bell-tower to the left of the cathedral has a mechanism dating from 1933.Don't miss a look at it on midday! It consists of several layers, each with a different display endowed with a separate movement. At the bottom, a two-horse chariot sets the day of the week; above, the central figure of Death looks at the four ages of man that pass before him. At the third stage, the Sanctuary of Montalto sets the scene for a group of figures which, according to the time of year, represent the Nativity, Epiphany, Resurrection and Pentecost. At the top, the tableau enacts a scene relating to a local legend whereby the Madonna delivers a letter to the ambassodors of Messina in which she thanks and agrees to protect the inhabitants of the town who were converted to Christianity by St. Paul the Apostle. The female bell-strikers are the local heroines Dina and Clarenza, during the period of resistance against the Angevins (1282).. The southern side of the bell-tower shows a perpetual calendar, the astronomical cycle marked by the signs of the zodiac, and the different phases of the moon.

AEOLIAN ISLANDS A volcanic archipelago on Sicily's North-Eastern Tyrrhenian coast with the islands of Lipari ( the largest one), Salina (a green island with many wineyards), Filicudi, Alicudi, Stromboli (with an active volcano), Panarea (a jet-set island) and Vulcano (famous for its fango baths). The Greeks who colonized the islands around 580BC named them after the god of the winds Aeolus. These beautiful spots offer an enchanting landscape, great beaches with white sand, castles, thermal resorts and medieval structures and are a main tourist resort in Summer. On Lipari the volcanic phenomenon can be observed in the island's thermal springs (up to 600), in its solfataras and in its 12 volcanic systems converging towards the 602 metres of Monte Chirica. This elevated and craggy island has spectacular beaches and breathtaking ragged coasts. Panarea - The main village, Contrada San Pietro, consists of a group of white houses clustered along the eastern side of the island. The built-up area is crowned with olive trees and protected by huge walls. The other two villages north and south of San Pietro are Dittella and Drauto.We recommend a boat tour to the nearby small islands of Basiluzzo, Dattilo and Lisca Bianca, to the Scoglio Bottaro (with its underwater "fumaroles"). Salina - More than 400 different types of plants grow here. It is also the island with the highest peaks such as the three volcanoes that originated e.g Monte Fossa delle Felci (962 m), which is partially covered by one of the most beautiful strawberry tree woods of the entire Mediterranean. Vulcano - famous for the baths in the warm waters of its submarine springs. This 21 km2, 500 metre high (Monte Aria) isle is the Aeolian island closest to the Sicilian coast. Its name is a clear description of its geography: a land of lava and fumarole, yellow sulphur rocks and black sands all worth a visit. Stromboli - This 924 metre high lava mountain (Serra Vancori) which drops abruptly down to 2000 metres below sea-level is Europe's biggest active volcano after Etna. During the night, the glittering "sciara" of fire (the red-hot flow descending towards the sea) can be seen from the boats and from Panarea. During the day, the smoke of the peak joins the steam raising up from the water that cools down the red-hot lava detritus which have plunged into the water after sliding down the slope of the coast. The white houses of the little village create a unique contrast with the black lava background dotted with dark-green bushes. http://www.sensationalsicily.com/aeolianislands.html TAORMINA A 19th century haunt of the English aristocracy, it has long been Sicily's most famous resort town and it was here that D.H. Lawrence was inspired to write Lady Chatterly's Lover. Taormina has endlessly winding medieval streets and tiny passages. The most famous view you can get on your strolls is the one overlooking the Greco-Roman amphitheatre, one of Sicily's largest, with Mount Etna and the sea in the background. The Teatro Greco was founded by Greeks in the third century BC but the visible remains are almost entirely Roman. Between July and August the theatre hosts an international arts festival including film, theatre and music.
