I think I will change my fishing habits a bit...more sitting in one place with the engine off.
I NEVER ask for gas money and often times refuse it when it's offered. I bought a boat that I can afford with room for fluctuating gas prices. 19ft with a 115 suzuki got me through last year 3 trips a week at under 2000 bucks.
I am fortunate enough to have good friends that have helped me out on more than one occasion, the least I can do get them on some fish from time to time.
Or at least go for a boat ride
