Today I'm in North Carolina, Pops and I trolled the sound for a couple of hours for Striper's. Water temp was 57 deg. Air temp around 65 deg. winds from the Southwest around 20 mph with gusts up to 40 mph. We did not catch anything
. We marked a ton of fish on the depthfinder but we think the high winds and upcoming storm was a major factor why the fish were not biting. We may try again tommorrow.
I tried removing the bottom paint off my boat with a soy based paint stripper. It worked okay. Believe me, its alot of work laying on your back with a scraper under a trailer.
I think I'm going to do a small section at a time when I get home so I don't get too frustrated. bngh
Happy catching
Eddie
