• If you don’t use protective anti-fouling paint (to repel barnacles in salt water), make sure that
you remove your boat from the water every few days. This will prevent build up of algae and
barnacles. Scrub and wash the boat while it is wet and before putting it back in the water.
• If you use your boat in salt water, give it a freshwater rinse after each day of fishing.
Use plenty of soap and water and rinse thoroughly.
• If using an electric motor, charge the battery immediately upon returning from your fishing trip.
If you use a battery to start your main engine, check the battery frequently and charge as required.

Common Seafood Questions Answered
Here are the most common questions I get here about seafood so I thought I would address them here in one post. Fresh fish seems the major concern.
When is fish bad? Whole fish is bad when the eyes get cloudy and the gills get brownish in color, always look for clear eyes and ruby red gills when buying fish whole or having one filleted or steaked out. Cut fish is bad when the flesh does not spring back from touch, the flesh is opaque and/or has an ammonia type odor.
When is fresh or wild salmon season? People often ask for fresh salmon when they mean wild salmon that is why I included both terms. Typically wild salmon season runs from first of March to late November although some species are available late into winter. My advice is to always buy Alaskan salmon, if it is not available fresh, frozen Alaskan salmon is just as good, the process they use often makes the frozen salmon actually fresher than the "fresh" salmon you buy in market.
Is seafood better for you than red meat? Yes, it is recommended you have two to three servings of seafood a week compared to one of red meat, and yes pork is included in red meat despite their advertising it as a white meat. There is just so much good nutrition you can obtain from seafood that you just can't get from any other single food source, plus it is a high grade protein.

When does fish go bad? When fish goes bad is determined by the temperature it is stored at. At minus 10 degrees F or below it can last up to 12 months, at 30 degrees F about 7 days, at 40 degrees F (approx normal home refrigeration temp) about two to three days.
How fast does fish go bad? Typically it will last in home refrigeration two to three days after brought home from market. Temperature is always the key to how fast fish goes bad, the colder you can keep fish the longer it stays consumable.

Advantages of Fish
Regular consumption of fish can reduce the risk of various diseases and
disorders. Selected research findings indicate the following:
Asthma - children who eat fish may be less likely to develop asthma.
Brain and eyes - fish rich in omega 3 fatty acids can contribute to the health of brain tissue and the retina (the light sensitive tissue lining the inner surface of the eye).
Cancer - the omega 3 fatty acids in fish may reduce the risk of many types of cancers by 30 to 50 per cent, especially of the oral cavity, oesophagus, colon, breast, ovary and prostate.
Cardiovascular disease - eating fish every week reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke by reducing blood clots and inflammation, improving blood vessel elasticity, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood fats and boosting 'good' cholesterol.

Health Benefits of Seafood
Recent studies have shown that the Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids found in fresh seafood have a number of heart-related health benefits. These polyunsaturated acids, otherwise known as "good fats", prove to lower cholesterol, decrease blood clotting factors and increase beneficial relaxation in larger arteries and blood vessels.
