Da Big Booms - in Geology we called them P waves and S waves. As for the natural gas emissions - just don't light a match too close or you might launch that tube into space!
Actually heard the certain vibrations can turn fish on (to bite that is!). Good-good-good vibrations! I believe they are 'sounds' that emulate panicked bait fish. Read it in a magazine...
If you don't have enough of your own, you're welcome to borrow some of mine!!!!

Actually heard the certain vibrations can turn fish on (to bite that is!). Good-good-good vibrations! I believe they are 'sounds' that emulate panicked bait fish. Read it in a magazine...
