Has anyone here tried fishing with explosives? Would a film canister filled with MEKP be good enough or would I need more? The river is alittle over 2ft deep.

2 feet deep? Ah the funny visual that gave me.

No, you'd need a larger body of water and a somewhat bigger charge.

yeah a 47 foot deep lake and a 2 kilo ANNM charge worked but fish have to be in the general area and when you come in on a boat and drop things in the water the scare easy but the charge will knock them out

For the beginning, your river is too shallow, charge way too small. So,your fishing will not work. It, accidentally fish or two will be around, close enough to be killed, or at least unconsiousned, will be broken in parts. But that's not the worst. Fishing with explosives is great crime against enviroment, nature.
You will catch nothing, but you will kill young, litlle fishes living half a mile around.
So, nothing for lunch, but thousands of litllle, mearly visible fishes will be killed, and your river will be dead for years.
That's why fushing with explosives IS bad, evil, destructive and probably severlly punishable. I do not know how is that crime agalnst nature is treated by american courts, but everywhere in Europe, if they catch you, you go to yail-without probation possibillity-for years. And I mean, for a noumber of years

you will kill young, litlle fishes living half a mile around.

Drama ... overexaggerated.

I am not so sure how damage is excessive in rivers, but in sea, Mediteranian or Adriatic sea is VERY EXCESSIVE. A lot of sea animals live part of their life as plankton, before they become fishes, crabs, shells or corals. That Animals you do kill at half a mile away - if the mine is strong enough to kill only a few seriously eatiblle fishes. Fact that you cant see them does not mean that they do not egsist or are unimportant. BEFORE DRACONIAN PUNISHMENTS WERE LEGALIZED FOR FISHING WITH DINAMITES-ISLAND NATIVES MADE ENORMOUS DAMAGE. And at the end, MOST - 90% of fishes lay on the bottom of the sea, only a few are floating on surface. Plankton is killed in huge areas, and you can mearlly collect for a dinner- if you do not wont enter the sea and scuba diving collect them.....

Ecologist crap. The environment isn't going to wipe if you use a godamn grenade to fish...

You blast underwater shit like 5 meters around with a 500gr charge, not half a mile...

Besides, someone who cannot spell DYNAMITE (even after editing for "spelling") is surely not qualified enough to give "lessons" about it...

Yes, you are right, nuclear rabbit! We started to talk about device which will make PLOP! -litlle fire and smoke, and I finished describing damage islanders made till they had enough explosives to cook food on canon cordite, they took out of german ammunition, after they lost the war on Mediteranian sea and went home..

get a few pounds of chum, or blender+chicken guts. Put it in a mess bag and tie to rock and drop in river. Come back 45 min later and blow up that spot

It's still a pointless waste of fishies.

OMG if I go fushing with explosives I will be severlly punished for a terrible crime agalnst nature and will go to yail for a noumber of years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know the song ? It's funny :) I want to download it :)

Man, just do it the old fashioned way. The fish will taste better. Like it's been said though, deeper water, bigger charge, and don't scare the fish because that very well may happen. Those little bastards are smart enough so bait the area, go drink or something for about 45 min to an hour, come back and blow the shit up before they can disperse. What kind of fish are you looking at here, anyway? Can't imagine anything really viable in 2 feet of water.

Flatheads are pretty common in 2-3' of water, might be viable.

I stand corrected.

Used A half filled bottle of Buckleys Cough Syrop Filled with AP Weighted down with a desent sized rock and definatly not enough speaker wire leading to the eletric detinatore...

It was in about 10ft of water with about 10ft - 15ft of lead from it's settled place... I didn't chum the water so we didn't get anything but it was enough of a "Thud" to dent one of the pontoons on the boat and nearly made my "Assistant" land on his ass xD.

I told him to sit down... he didn't listen so I hit the + / - on the batery... He "Sat" down pritty quickly.

This was all done on a private lake (land locked) so no problems from the MNR or anyone elce...

It was fun and I wish I would've brought my camera.

Seen a pic/vid of someone throwing a grenade into the ocean(maybe 2-3 meters of water) and collecting about 20 fish...

I don't know, man. Maybe you should reconsider- I wouldn't want to go to yail.

or at least unconsiousned, will be broken in parts.

Yeah.. They will be in pieces but merely unconscious.

Second off learn to spell,

And perhaps a slightly bigger charge, anything with a high VOD should work fairly well...

I fished in Bosnia with a bunch of crazies who used military grade explosives. Don't do something dumb like throwing explosives in water that's 2 feet deep unless you want a head full of rockchunks. I don't know what kind of explosives they were but we didn't need more than a fistfull.

Don't worry about fish getting blown to bits. The detonation will render all fish in a radius of at least 10 meters unconscious. All you gotta do is tighten a net downstream and you can be looking at a few hundred kilos of fish.

QTF!

Could use some revision, though...

Make sure it is legal first!
Because yes, the current ecosystem problem is with killing baby fish.
People have been slamming those who do explosive fishing.
Biologists get pissed, locals get pissed, other fishermen get pissed, the courts and city gets pissed, hobos/homeless get pissed.
You're basically pissing off a lot of people who fish for food and/or profit.

Try using a line or a net.

Seriously... that guy may have had proofreading problems, but he was spot on correct.

What he said was not "ecologist crap". Fishing with explosives DOES damage the environment, and the environment is important as fuck. Killing little inedible fish means that they won't turn into edible ones--it's a total waste. I just saw this thread in the hot topics, but I would say that it's people like those in this thread that make me & many others think all you backyard ballistics folks are just crazy fucking shitheads. It may not be true, but this shit ain't helping that reputation. Use a hook and line like everyone else. Sure it takes time, but it's kinda fun and it doesn't make you a lunatic/send you to jail.

Another thing to consider, think of how much water is in the human body. The vibrations from that underwater explosion could very well be killing something a little bigger than a fish...

Yeah if your dumb ass fell off the boat and was in the water where the blast waves are pressurising it, then yes, the force could hit you. Stay in the boat, you'll be fine.

Enviro crap aside: The blast mushes the guts pretty bad and taints the yummy flesh of the fish. It is still fun as hell, but not as tasty as it could be.

For those criticizing that other bloke, nomen.noncognosco, on his spelling, I don't think english is his first language. Post on a Russian, German, Chinese, Ukrainian, Polish, French, Italian fuck any other language board, and you will probably have a bit of trouble yourselves... Unless you are a freak and speak all those languages fluently.
