Two stroke motors are allowed on the lakes and rivers. Some of the rivers have horsepower restrictions. I am currently using a 24 volt electric motor to push my 23 foot fishing pontoon, the necessary 2.2 mph, trolling speed. A 115 HP, 4 stroke Mercury outboard, gets me to the area I want to fish.
Wine choice is based on how it's prepared. Striper, like chicken is very versatile....... takes on the flavors of the spices or sauces that are used in it's preparation. Drink mostly whites (Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc) with the blander recipes. Mild reds (Merlot, Malbac, Carmenere, Pinot Noir) with the spicier ones.
As far as the red meat goes, Bella the Boxer, readily consumes it. I filet as usual and cut the meat into the portion sizes I want..... then sort of, filet the red off.
Stripers follow the oxygen levels of the lake. The smaller ones can tolerate lower oxygen levels. On Norfork Lake, the minimum size is 20 inches, for a keeper. Colder water holds more oxygen, so as the lake warms the Stripers go deeper. Yesterday's, surface temperature was 85 degrees. Thermocline is around 30 feet. Hence, I was using deep running Reef Runners (800 series) that go down to 28 feet, when trolled. Alabama rigs had a four ounce, trolling sinker. In the Spring, no weight is needed. As the water warms, more weight is required. When fishing for Stripers, one is always adapting.
