Not many trips down Cape :ss: but I'll still fish the canal and surrounding UDLs. Will most likely really do a hard study of canal to Westport with the Yak.

Last year I made 17 trips to the Race. (125 miles each way) With my truck only getting 12 miles a gallon I see far less trips out tht way this year. I'll be stopping at the canal a lot more. I better stock up on jigs.:vamp:

Raven 04-20-2006 03:49 PM

f the canal
 
yeah theres fish in there....no doubt about it...

but heres a glimpse at the future ready this year! too

only 50 grand and they are coming up with a two seater...
well i dunno if it'll carry bigfish lol ;)

but what about a 60 pound yak...

rod racks on the side....it would be the ultimate
and its a friggan ultra lite so no pilots license required.
flies with ease like a motor cycle....

BigFish 04-20-2006 06:00 PM

striprman 04-20-2006 06:05 PM

If ya see me thumbing on route 24 with my poles and "tackle" box, please stop and pick me up.

tattoobob 04-20-2006 08:27 PM

Right now I am looking into two spots to store my camper for the Race And Plum Island. If I can get a place close to the beach then travel in the explorer back and forth I would save a ton of gas and money,

Backbeach Jake 04-20-2006 08:54 PM

I'll still go home to Truro every weekend. I'll still drive the Backside.:ss: I'll make my adjustments elsewhere.

bluzjamer 04-26-2006 12:30 AM

It sure sucks what these greedy bastards have done to this country.
Everytime I go down to Gansett I have to think will I at least get a bite to make it worth while. This gas thing is on everybodys mind. Top it off right now I'm laid off! I finally have the time to fish but not enough money to get there.

FishHawk 04-26-2006 04:50 AM

Cut back on fishing to only once a week, which I', m doing now. This really sucks. What gets me is the CEO gets $400 million in a retirement package!!! Well we got a oilman in the Whitehouse. Time for a change. Vote the oil party out of office. FishHawk

roof racks on the 635csi- 25 mpg, truck gets 15 mpg.

striperman36 04-26-2006 08:01 PM

I got a boat, I got a truck. I live in Mansfield MA. Anybody who wants to meet me at the house and split to cost of using the boat outta Westport MA send me a PM.

Vermonter 04-27-2006 06:44 AM

Well since theyre claiming that gas prices will spike early summer and then go down a bit late summer/early fall, I may plan accordingly. Possible I'll just go down to the Cape for maybe a couple weekends in May and June, work like mad and get the current project wrapped up by late august/early sept and then take 2 weeks off and fish nonstop then. We'll see.

Hooper 04-28-2006 12:35 PM

Lots of inshore fishing to be sure!

I'll just keep my new SUV at home and ride around in Keeperreaper's new sled. :sled:

It's getting close fellas, a couple of weeks and it will blow wide open.:kewl:

tattoobob 04-28-2006 02:58 PM

The Dad Fisherman 04-28-2006 03:23 PM

Won't affect my fishing at all.....But My kids are sure going to be eating a Chitload of Mac-n-Cheese this summer....:hihi:

Back Beach 04-29-2006 06:03 AM

Close to 3.50 last night in soco, will surely hit 4 plus by July 4th.This will probably not change anything for me as I get out only 1or 2 times per week anyways.Not much to cut back on. Guys who fish frequently will feel it much more. As long as the price of pizza stays down I'm all set.:nopain:

bluzjamer 04-29-2006 07:58 AM

RIPTA---HA.....Now I know what those big boxes on the front are....fish boxes...put your stripers in. I know they will like me with clam juice and some eels left over. Hey bud slide over your crushing my surf stick. Sorry about the sand.

eelman 05-02-2006 06:12 PM

Acually saving money with the boat! I have not filled my truck up in three weeks, the marina is a mile away and the boat gets unreal gass milage! I have been all over narragansett bay and burned 4 gallons of fuel! And caught plenty of fish:btu: And not have to drive down to soco and deal with 1000 people on the beach having fistfights over dink bass.......So buying the boat has changed my life. Eventually I will be down south but for the next month or two I have the fish right in my backyard, and never knew how good it was.......The heck with the gas! Plus the gas tank holds 23 gallons on the boat, I am guessing I can get a month out of that........:happy: :happy:

Raven 05-02-2006 06:38 PM

more power to ya
 
#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&!!

you have made a sacrifice in becoming a boat guy

that has paid off in using less gas and at the same time

dramatically increasing your range... Bravo :claps:

Newport: Weekdays up until 1:15am from Kennedy plaza. Sat up until 10:35pm from Kennedy plaza. Return back starting at 4:40 am from Newport on weekdays and 5:35am on Sat.

Ganset: Weekdays up until 6:30pm from Kennedy plaza. Sat up until 3:15pm from Kennedy plaza. Return back starting at 6:18 am from Gansett (beach) on weekdays and 10:48am on Sat.

These schedules work for those all nighters.

Notaro 05-02-2006 10:01 PM

I would fish less because I tend to go to the Cape and RI because I can't afford driving around and burning my tank out. It's a bit over 100 miles one way trip and doubling up for a round trip. I might probably stick to working out and do kickboxing more.
