Heck, even at $4.00 or $5.00 per gallon, gas will still pretty much be the cheapest thing about boating!

Thats why I said "my pleasure $" in my original post. Afford is different than willing to spend. I dont know if I am willing to spend $150 bucks a fishing trip for 6 hours on the water. Not counting eels. As much as I love being in the boat, it will cost me $15 to fish from the surf and I still enjoy it.
The past few years I spent way to much time and $$$ chasing bunker. That will end this year unless they show up in my harbor. I'll just stay closer to home. I never troll but I do run around to different areas, I may just stay within a few miles of the home port.
