Caught a couple in North Carolina.

Went to visit the parents for the holiday and dad was very upset. He has been having problems with his Johnson outboard, something to do with the alarm and the boat shutting down. After 3 trips to the mechanic and the same problem he was pretty ticked off, He was also disappointed that we could not go fishing. Friday he wound up going back to the mechanic/dealer and bought a new E-TEC 115hp for his 18' Parker which he will get next week.  Still wanting to go fishing he called a friend and we went out Saturday on his friends 22' Starcraft.  We did some trolling in the Albermarle sound and were marking a ton of fish but only landed 2, an 18" Keeper Striper and a 19" Spotted trout or Weakfish. We had a good time and now dad is stress free with a nice new outboard on the way.

Nice trip!  At least you got out!

BTW, I haven't heard the phrase "18" keeper striper" in probably over 20 years!

Nice report Eddie. Good to hear your dad is getting a new motor for the boat.

Nice catch!

Sounds like a good trip all around.  I am sure that new motor will be put to good use next spring.  Or will it be broken in before the New Year is here...

Ha, We fried 2, 14 pound turkeys they were awesome as usual, Then on Friday we heated up the same oil and fried 10 lbs of buffalo wings and a load of fresh home made french fries. Of course we had to drink some,,, okay MANY , cool beverages to thin out our blood with all the oily food and desert.
