Yeah, that's the basic principle of grenade fishing. However, I thought that the shockwaves work because they rupture the swim bladders of the fish, and turtles have no swim bladders, so... it might not work. Be nice to give it a go though.

Grenades do NOT rupture fish's swim bladders.
that is dumb.

if it did , why do fish float when they get blown up?

You could make some scale mail out of the little squares, Maybe put some meatle on the inside of the shell and then sew then to a leather shirt with sinew or something. would look cool and would smell bad, what more could you want?

english Ex Member	Re: A wicked shield Reply #19 - Nov 28^th, 2004 at 3:12pm That's precisely why they float. Because they can't swim anymore. They have no sense of balance, and just float to the top, pretty well dead. If grenades actually blew up the fish, how come it's a viable way to fish and not a way of blowing up swimming things into tiny little bits?

Yargh ye landlubber, be wary of the ferocious floating fishies.
Tapping on the side of a fishtank can damage the little blighters (although my pet tropical fish spent most of their time fighting, killing, then eating one another. I was really bad at mixing and matching). When a fishes swimbladder malfunctions, it goes belly up, floats to the top, and is pretty much paralyzed. If you blew the fish to pieces...it'd be pretty pointless to fish that way. The amount of kinetic momentum dispersed by the water (which also creates the shockwave) would also mean that it would be incredible inefficient.

I have never done this so what is the best explosive. Grenade fishing..so relaxing

The bigger the better! A cheap method would be to buy about ten packs of screecheroos(don't ever do this, it probably violates a bunch of laws) pound them up with a hammer. Pour the dust into a cardboard tube, pack it in real tight (use like 4 or five screechers per charge.) Put the wick in the top and tape it up with tons of duct tape. The more compression the better. Be sure to tape the wick up tight, it will burn under water, and it will explode as long as it is sealed up ok.

I usually use film containers packed with forcite with cannon fuse. I tape them up and tape a rock to the bottom.
