Down for the count right now. Hopefully, I can score a yard sale special soon.

im not spending 300 bucks a month on a boat payment to fish LESS!

plus because i pay 300 bucks a month on a new boat my gas payment is way less... burning on average under 1-2 gallon an hr is A O KAY with me.

not gonna let those fat oil peckerheads affect my fishing!

i live close to the water, so theres no way i'll be cutting back.. hopefully be getting out more then i did last year :)

I cut back last year due to family issues.. probaby stay the same this year... plus i have to pour alot of plastic these days :uhoh:

I'm back in a car this year, 16 mpg in a truck just gets old when the fishing is good and I'm going every day. Roof rack is on and I'm ready to go.

Obviously a truck or SUV is the ideal fishing vehicle (or necessary, if you like the sand), but I'll still be fishing and traveling to where the fish are when I otherwise would have been looking at a gas pump in fear.

I'll be fishing as hard this year as I did last year, and keeping more money in my pocket. Hopefully Newport will produce better all season long and I won't have to travel as much this year. :kewl:

Pete u told me u get a Vertigo type symptoms when u leave the Island..
:D

I would be really happy to get 16 mpg..
I start to save my pennies now For the trips I hope to make this yr.Gas is by far my biggest expense.I already shower in a sink at the DD.Not sure I could do much more to cut back..Maybe if I make a dozen or so Peanut butter sangwiches I can save a few duckets that way.I will have to choose/pick my times more carefully.
Also I plan on quitting that $12 per day habit..Thats will be a big help..

No food , no lights , no TV but plenty of dough for gas to go fishing!! :)

I'll live on water and peanut butter and jelly, but I'm going fishing:)

high gas prices effects everything
 

food especially....used to be, you could go spend 20 bucks and have food for three days.... now its down to one.

fishing....

It takes careful planning ..so there are NO wasted trips.

60 miles from the water sucks...:(
