Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Miscellanous ideas

Actually, I was envisioning me and my sub hanging around the bottom of
Puget sound, with some music playing.  In hopes of letting other vessels
know that someone's down there.  Would it scare the fish away?  Only
when played, I suppose.  Maybe.  I don't know.  Who knows, maybe they'll
like it.  Gets me to think about something kinda like what we used when
I was doing some work for the State of Utah Department of Wildlife
Resources, Fisheries Division.  They had these electric probes in the
water and the fish were drawn to the negative probe.  Did that for fish
counting.  Amazing how they are drawn to it like a magnet.  Now, if I
had something like that on a sub, I can imagine the fun I'd have when
approached by sharks....    YEEEEHAW!
