Not like it used to be it’s a grind sometimes to scratch out a limit, but a couple days ago I found a piece of structure holding fluke and some nice hump heads. Got my sea bass limit and one nice fluke.

Falling Oil Prices Defy Predictions. But What About the Next Chapter?
Oil is under $90 a barrel, and consumers are benefiting

Should we say Biden did that seeing we have been told he made it go up

Ps avg price in conn. 4.00 bucks not going to see Covid prices again and not far from 2013 prices of 3.53. Which didn’t get much attention

practically back to normal....phew:spin:

"Should we say Biden did that"

Sure. We can say "thanks to Biden, things arent quite as bad as they were a month ago".

Wayne, you think Americans are celebrating $4/gallon gas? He has a long way to go. If gas gets to $3, I'll be the first to say it's a huge win for him. $4/gallon isn't a win for him. He didn't inherit $5/ gallon, he oversaw that. He didn't cause all of it obviously, but it's his problem

If your a BJ's member, until the 5th, they are running a great deal saving 0.50 cents per gallon after you spend $100 in the store before taxes. I stocked up on stuff I know we will use and saved $10 after filling up the Silverado.

you're

3.27 here. 3.17. New Bern

I am not claiming a win ..Just pointing out what I've said all along Markets control the price of Oil and Gas not POTUS

So my point was directed at those who still think the POTUS control gas prices :faga:

cheaper than in 2013 :cheers: PS how the albie fishing down your way? starting to show around here

In 2014, the gas price was at its peak with a rate of $3.62 per gallon. Although it decreased in 2013, it still was over $3. The prices fell to $2.43 per gallon in 2015 and $2.14 in 2016. Compared to the previous years, in 2019, gas stations charged $2.6 USD per gallon. However, in 2020, the price was 2.17, which means the price went down by a total of 17%.

Update: The Gasoline price in 2022 was recorded $1.3 per liter on 27th June 2022, which sums up to $5 per gallon. Although it is higher than the previous year, which was $3.3 per gallon, it is still cheaper than the global gas prices, which even hit $4.6 per gallon. However, the prices vary greatly across the states in the U.S. For Instance, in California the prices are 50% higher than other states, which equals $6.3 per gallon. At the same time, the Midwest and South are 5% to 10% less than the overall price.

^^^who said this?

markets react to policy, which is something POTUS can control...POTUS can also release oil from our strategic reserves which will affect the market .....or beg Saudi's and Venezuelans to increase production, which will affect the market...could probably think of some other things.....

You really need to set higher goals for yourself, because being the spelling police on a tiny obscure fishing web site isn't a grand endeavor. Or are you having issues catching our meaning or is it you just feel we should not let our computers control the messaging, but I understand you have an important role to play here.

just trying to help...you should be more appreciative

Well, if he didn’t have anything to do do with rising gas prices, why is he taking credit for them going down? :huh:

“Gas prices have been dropping for 34 days straight, about 50 cents a gallon. That saves the average driver about $25 a month.

I know those extra dollars and cents mean something. It's breathing room. And we're not done working to get prices even lower.“ - Joe Biden

playing dumb again :kewl:

Another one playing dumb shocking..


PS just because Biden is taking credit for falling gas prices it doesn't change my view on how it works

He Biden did nothing! to make Oil go up! And Has done nothing to make it go Down...

the Markets moved the prices Up and Down ..



So whos putting all these stickers on Pumps other than republicans blaming Biden when are the going to start giving him credit ?

Half of US States Hit Record-Low Unemployment Rates in 2022:

I thought the sky was falling?

STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT -- JULY 2022


Unemployment rates were lower in July in 14 states and the District of Columbia, higher in
3 states, and stable in 33 states, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. All
50 states and the District had jobless rate decreases from a year earlier. The national
unemployment rate edged down to 3.5 percent over the month and was 1.9 percentage points
lower than in July 2021.

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 20 states, decreased in 2 states, and was
essentially unchanged in 28 states and the District of Columbia in July 2022. Over the
year, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 43 states and the District and was
essentially unchanged in 7 states.

This news release presents statistics from two monthly programs. The civilian labor force
and unemployment data are modeled based largely on a survey of households. These data
pertain to individuals by where they reside. The employment data are from an establishment
survey that measures nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings by industry. These data
pertain to jobs on payrolls defined by where the establishments are located. For more
information about the concepts and statistical methodologies used by these two programs,
see the Technical Note.

Unemployment

Minnesota had the lowest jobless rate in July, 1.8 percent. The next lowest rates were in
Nebraska, New Hampshire, and Utah, 2.0 percent each. The rates in the following seven
states set new series lows (all state series begin in 1976): Alaska (4.5 percent),
California (3.9 percent), Georgia (2.8 percent), Louisiana (3.6 percent), Mississippi
(3.6 percent), Missouri (2.5 percent), and Washington (3.7 percent). The District of
Columbia had the highest unemployment rate, 5.2 percent, followed by Alaska and New Mexico,
4.5 percent each. In total, 17 states had unemployment rates lower than the U.S. figure of
3.5 percent, 10 states and the District had higher rates, and 23 states had rates that
were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 1.)

In July, 14 states and the District of Columbia had over-the-month unemployment rate
decreases, the largest of which was in New Mexico (-0.4 percentage point). Three states
had unemployment rate increases: Indiana (+0.2 percentage point) and Montana and Nebraska
(+0.1 point each). Thirty-three states had jobless rates that were not notably different
from those of a month earlier, though some had changes that were at least as large
numerically as the significant changes. (See table B.)

The largest unemployment rate decreases from July 2021 occurred in California (-3.5
percentage points) and Rhode Island (-3.3 points). The smallest over-the-year jobless
rate decline occurred in Nebraska (-0.5 percentage point). (See table C.)

wdmso, unemployment came way down when we opened back up. Biden deserves some credit for this, no doubt. The stock market is also up, and he deserves credit for that.

Do you know what usually happens when the fed hammer interest rates? The sky isn’t falling. But there are perfectly valid reasons to believe a recession is coming. Not the great depression or 2018, but a recession. By the old definition were already in a recession, so we of course need to change the definition. But there are ominous signs.

I hoped you cleared this with Scott, that’s his passion and sole source apparently of pleasure, grammar and spelling is his life.

Yes, I'm aware it's recent. WHat did I say, to make you think I thought it was old? Do you have to argue with me, even when I'm agreeing with you? Here's what I said:

unemployment came way down when we opened back up. Biden deserves some credit for this, no doubt.

"They just keep yelling recession over and over !!!"

We had two consecutive quarters of GDP decreases. If Trump was POTUS, tell me how that would be shared in the media?

"Republicans want a recession like they want inflation because they think it benefits them on Election Day "

True. You going to tell me Democrats didn't exploit the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, and covid for 2020?
