Every weekend from may till december, not even gunna bother and figure out a gas tab on the season. capecodkid 06-21-2007, 08:06 PM About 3 minutes from my boat. Depends on where I want to surf fish. The ditch is 30 minutes. Outer cape is an hour. Or nobska is 10 minutes.

Every Thursday nite to Sunday from April to November. My non fishing friends (or whats left of them) think I have a problem. No problem at all... Grew up in Hingham, saw Boston Harbor at its worst. I would never take a fish out of that water. teaser 06-21-2007, 09:51 PM 5 minutes to boat ramp, 9 minutes to Cuttyhunk ... 16 minutes to Squiby. About $65.00 in gas! lurch 06-21-2007, 10:47 PM 90 miles to canal, 40 mins to PI and 2.5 hours to outer cape beaches and it F'n SUCKS! Come on Juniper stock options papa needs a new house near the water!! moosh 06-21-2007, 10:56 PM I have the fortune to live mid to upper cape ,I have the best of three worlds 10miles to cape cod bay ,3miles to south side , 15mile to buzzards bay .. I truly am a lucky bastard,So no matter which way the wind blows I can still fish from the boat,, it took 44 years to figure out its the little things in life that make it ever so sweet.. moosh johnny ducketts 06-21-2007, 11:32 PM 3-10 miles depending where i am going Terence 06-21-2007, 11:39 PM 5 min to the River, 10 min to the rocks. GonnaCatchABig1 06-21-2007, 11:41 PM 5 mins to most places. occasionally 20 depending on how adventurous i feel. the bait shop is further away than the water. Sudsrat 06-22-2007, 05:07 AM About 60 miles......1.25 hours till I'm on the sand. :ss: I envy you guys that live so close to the water. slow eddie 06-22-2007, 05:43 AM one block to deep hole protty31 06-22-2007, 06:05 AM Few spots 5 to 10 miles away,And some walking involved:as: MrHunters 06-22-2007, 06:13 AM wow, i really admire the dedication of the people 50 miles plus. I didn't realize so many live so far away from their spots of choice... Im not sure if I'd be lucky enough to have the time if I lived that far away. Mike P 06-22-2007, 06:46 AM It depends--walking or driving? :D :bl: :laughs: striprman 06-22-2007, 06:54 AM 50 minutes to te canal jim sylvester 06-22-2007, 06:55 AM 62 miles from door to where i park 62.4 miles to get the line wet Pete F. 06-22-2007, 06:58 AM Umm...I don't like to think about this. round 200 to NH, 250 to Pt Jude I try for every other wknd.

I have fishing in my backyard in Quincy but fishing at night in Quincy just doesn't do it for me. wheresmy50 06-22-2007, 07:21 AM About 4.5 to 5.5 hours from my door to Narragansett Bay. bloocrab 06-22-2007, 07:30 AM Gas prices would NEVER affect my fishing habit...however distance and time to the water would. About 4.5 to 5.5 hours :eek: ..... The way I feel about fishing........I WOULD MOVE CLOSER. I live 5 minutes from my local river,,, 1/2hr to da big D,,, 20 mins. to an hour to SO many other spots which always make it harder to decide which one I'll allow to give me fish :buds: ...oh yeah, about 20 minutes to Gooses' boat,,, and then...:faga: ....FISH ON!!! Rick Ackley 06-22-2007, 07:49 AM A tad over a hundred whether I hit the Quincy area or Connecticut shore. With gas where it is, I do not make these trips as often as I would like. PaulS 06-22-2007, 07:54 AM 4 min. drive but there are no fish there:tooth: Swimmer 06-22-2007, 08:00 AM 30 to 90 minutes on a regular basis. Twice a week and sometimes more. Interesting results from the question. I can't imagine driving down from Strubridge a couple of times a week. I hate going in that direction to get to New Braintree. At least the Pike is close and its all highway. The Iceman 6 06-22-2007, 08:00 AM 2 hour minimum drive one way, usually drive 2/3 hours to hit favorite spots. Gotta do what u gotta do... Ice tynan19 06-22-2007, 08:18 AM An hour and a half to anywhere. 2 young kids, a V8 and work have killed my fishing time this year. EarnedStripes44 06-22-2007, 01:03 PM I take the subway to my fav. spots here in Boston, that is when my girlfriend does not drive me to better spots. 1/2 hr by train, 1/2 hr by car. Pretty nice sized fish in the inner harbor; to 34 inches. All in the shadow of Boston's skyscrapers. RIROCKHOUND 06-22-2007, 01:06 PM You guys would hate me if I posted :D Jim, that far away? I thought you were closer than that? reelecstasy 06-22-2007, 01:10 PM 25 feet to the spot I fish everyday, & also put in my kayak 15 mins to 2 local favorite spots... 40 mins to cape fishbones 06-22-2007, 01:29 PM 30 minutes minimum to be on fish, but most of my spots are further. Anything more than 10 minutes is too far in my opinion. More time travelling = less time fishing. Rockport24 06-22-2007, 02:05 PM I'm 10 minutes away from some good spots Back Beach 06-22-2007, 02:07 PM Canal=52 miles Gansett= 54 miles Westport= 48 miles %$%$%$%$ the cape I am centrally located between my fishing grounds, but far away. :huh: steve 06-22-2007, 02:09 PM I'm lucky, 15 to 50 minutes depending on the spot. partsjay 06-22-2007, 02:17 PM 10 min to the canal.....15 to some other spots. ThomCat 06-22-2007, 02:20 PM :yawn: 35 miles from the house to my slip. JLH 06-22-2007, 02:45 PM ~80 miles one way so about an hour and a half. I’m lucky enough to have family near the shore so at least I can stay the weekend or overnight the majority of the time. FishWebb 06-22-2007, 03:37 PM 5 minutes. :wiggle: shadow 06-22-2007, 05:38 PM 30-35 min. if fishing ganset 20 min charlestown or westerly. Slingah 06-22-2007, 05:48 PM 10 - 30 minutes to most of my local spots EricM 06-22-2007, 05:53 PM 3,988 miles and every single one of them hurts ProfessorM 06-22-2007, 07:51 PM 42 miles to my favorite ramp. BW from AZ 06-22-2007, 11:17 PM 2,714 miles door to boat. last time out, 6 straight days of cold wind and rain. skunked to boot. gotta learn to plan better trips. Thom 06-23-2007, 02:10 PM CT coast about 1.5 hours So Country 2 to 2.5 hours. THomT justplugit 06-23-2007, 04:01 PM 1 hr to a spot, 1and 1/2 to good a spot, 4and 1/2 to the best spot. :) InTheHole 06-23-2007, 05:29 PM 93 miles door to dock,+20 to where i really like to fish Clueless 06-23-2007, 06:01 PM Nearest favorite spot, 45-50 minutes. But I can have a line in saltwater in 20. macojoe 06-23-2007, 06:13 PM All depends were I am going? 3 miles Yarmouth, 20 miles to Falmouth, 16 miles to Chatam, 10 miles to Barnstable Harborer Fish out of Falmouth 80% of the time, of coarse it has to be the longest away also!! 5/0 06-23-2007, 06:47 PM 42.7 Miles to the canal & 1/4 mile to walk, waking up & getting into the water 1hr. 5/0 massmike 06-23-2007, 07:48 PM two hours from Canal--two hours to East Beach, R.I.--Western Mass. isn't the most convenient place to live if you love the Cape like I do. The older I get, the fewer day trips to Balston, Head of the Meadow, Coast Gaurd and Nauset etc. I make. When I tell my neighbors I make danny plugs all winter they don't have a clue what the hell I'm talking about.... spence 06-23-2007, 08:08 PM Walking distance to a few... 10-25 to a lot more. 45 will get me to Beavertail or the Canal. An hour+ to Watch Hill. It's pretty pathetic considering how much I actually get to fish. -spence fishaholic18 06-23-2007, 08:20 PM 5 minutes if I stop by Clammers house 1st.:biglaugh: striperman36 06-23-2007, 08:51 PM 47 mi to the #1 ramp massmike 06-24-2007, 07:28 AM 2 hours from canal---two hours from R.I. beaches--5 minutes from Ct. River in western Mass.---too bad shad/herring run is done--caught some decent fish this spring to 36 lbs. in the river, but I'd rather be at Balston, Head of the Meadow etc...love the Cape Al in Westport 06-24-2007, 08:15 AM I'm a lucky boy...a little over a mile to the ramp then 5 to 15 minutes to "my" spots. :spin: riverrat55 06-24-2007, 08:19 AM 15 minutes to surf fishing!!! 10 minutes to the boat and 5 more to my fishing spots!!! Duke41 06-24-2007, 08:54 AM Now as we can see, some of us live very close to the water, while the other half live a great distance away. I would now ask the folks that live close to the water to find jobs for us that have to travel. stars'nstripers 06-24-2007, 08:51 PM 15 seconds to surf casting. 12 to my boat. (and this is by bike!!!,) Bazza 06-25-2007, 07:15 AM 1Hr. and 20 minutes to the Canal Outer Cape 2hrs North shore 45-1hr. RI 1 1/2hrs. I just got a kayak, so hopefully, alot less driving this year. Notaro 06-25-2007, 07:28 AM 45 mins to 1.5 hour to cape cod. 10-20 mins to boston harbor. 2 hours to RI. Squibby17 06-25-2007, 11:42 AM Right now any where from 20 minutes to 1 hr.
