Where's the haddock? I didn't expect to see cod on that list.

Not much haddock around here.



Latest study up here says that the mature cod population is at an all time
low, but haddock is coming back strong.

I used to love (still do) raw oysters .... spent many evenings with
customers at the Union Oyster House in Boston.

But, because of reading more about this stuff, I've pretty much given up
lobsters and oysters and other bottom feeding creatures, cod included.

I've got a white Kenner. I use it a lot on the central Texas Lakes
which are of course saturated with limestone. Then I go down to the
Gulf Coast. Next thing I know I've got this brown stain on the bottom
of the boat. I can remove it by rubbing HCl (swimming pool acid) on it
and rinsing off. I am wondering if there is some kind of wax that
would help prevent this stuff from sticking onto the gelcoat to begin
with. Any one have any recommendations?

I buy a box of oxalic acid at the hardware store and mix about three
tablespoons with a gallon of water. Spray it on, let set for a minute or
two, then wipe it and the brown (tannin) stain off.

Doing it like this costs about 20 cents a gallon. Or, you can go to a West
Marine and buy the same stuff already mixed for about $6 a quart.

I won't be launching in April. I wait until the loonies calm down a bit.

During the week it's not bad. On weekends it may be bad, but I won't go out
there then.
