Really now, are gas prices starting to affect your fishing?
 

Okay, I know I've been asking this question fairly frequently, but let's take a fresh poll. With unleaded low grade approaching $4 per gallon ahead of the Labor Day weekend, are you going to partake of the pump?

Be honest.

Thanks.

:bshake: !ti did hsuB :think:

I'm going to modify my fishing but don't expect to fish less this year than last - likely more...

its not bush's fault... its all the religious nascar loving idiots who voted for him..... they're the ones to blame :bshake:

Beautiful weekend comming, seas 1-2 ft, tank 1/2 full, (125 gal), wife and 3 kids ready to go -- IAM GOING -- but it sure will hurt when it comes time to fill up Sunday afternoon..... HMMM I wonder if they will take the smallest child in trade?

I'm beginning to really think through all my traveling now. Consolidate trips , do without , walk to lunch , slow down a little. Anyway , $4/gal. does get your attention! :(

i had the tip of a breachway alllllll to myself last night.

keep the prices high and F al of you folks who live out of state.. stay home and leave my bass alone :D :bshake: :rotf2:

$0.125/mile up from $0.0833/mile, 33% increase :af: $5.12 increase in an average surf fishing trip to Nebe's fishing grounds........

My wife leaves me
 

My wife finally got fed up with me not being around and now I can barely afford to take local trips due to prices. :splat:

cut back with the Sea Hunt unless I start fishing [[3] with gas money /

Now I,m gonna keep the CRV & look into getting a trailer hitch /with it I will then tow the tin boat .that uses like no gas ////

soooooooooooooooooooooo I,ll keep doing it

But between gas & the cost of eels //I,m getting closer to crossword puzzles as a [[thing]] :kewl:

I love my 4 cyl. taco :hee: :kewl: :ss: 14days

From the boat: I think I'll be "drifting" eels more than trolling...and making shorter runs in the boat.

From the beach: :ss: I won't be running up and down the beach as much, and will keep the truck in just a few spots.

my new yak is getting a work out...freshwater/salt,,,fishing either it's all good.as long as I get to go.

I think I'm going back to my younger years, canoe and electric motor and 2 big a$$ batteries.
This is gonna hurt.

Ive been so busy its only been 1-2 times a weekend and maybe 1 weeknight..

Working two jobs and going to class does that to you...

but.. since my second job I get to make my own hours and work as much or little as I want, Ill gladly work the extra hour or two to keep it up.

You actually think and believe it would have been better with The Thief fron the East Kerry?????????

is that why?
 

clammer is so articulate :smokin:

i just registered my boat. trolling motor special. screw gas.

money is wicked tight ...I'm paying now for a custom rod too...
puts the squeeze on the gas fund to git there.....momentarilly.

Is this Steve? The same guy I seem to remember a coupla years ago goin off about the GD bastahds in them effin GD yaks, acting like they owned the waterways??? :hihi:

RIPTA

Let's see my fishing trips to salt are 450 miles @ 20 mpg = 22.5 gallons @ $3gal= 67.50 Yea, I guess it's gonna cut into my fishing.........I want an electric car. But just wait till that goes up.

34 gallon tank one tank to ri 100 plus one tank back 100 plus.means no shower for 3 days.these gas prices are makin NIB a stinky man.U should see the looks I get by day 4 at Camp Dunkin Donuts.

Try living a 150+ miles from where you like to fish every weekend. Im cutting corners. Im only buying a case instead of a 30 pack. Just kidding, I dont even drink.

These prices will definitly impact my fishing. I have a Dodge Durrango,which really sucks on gas. I have even resorted to taking my wife's Toyota Camery on some trips, and brought some two piece rods. The Toyota is not quite the same, since I can not bring all my stuff with me. However, the Toyota does get much better MPG.

yes, but also its going to affect my transportation to my school, too. i have to spend more on my education over fishing. Ah, I might fish a little bit more...

for gods sake man, i hope you threw out that bag :scream2:

I am thinking of selling the boat!!

I will buy a small skiff likethe good old days and fish when I can.

less yuppies i farggin love it!!!!!!!!!!! :hihi:

have small boat w/48hp can fish all day on 3gal, but the truck sucks some gas, so for now the heck with it go fishing make more money next week

I'm sure alot of the guys who live by the ocean love this, keeps people like me away...you know, the traveling fishermen. :realmad:

nebe :wave:

It's fall , screw pump prices , i'm fishing.

Gas is cheaper in SoCo than it is in my town.

In a word....NOPE! :mad:
