I will not do long runs on the boat anymore this season unless I get a fresh report that is fantastic from multiple sources. It is not worth it. Also I will not do any exploring on the boat until fuel prices come down.

I will do more surf casting. A night in my 4WD burns a lot less fuel then a day on the boat.


Charter guys have to be taking it in the butt. When you hit $750 for a half day charter a lot fewer people will show up. A recent poll of the fishermen here showed a lot fewer guys fishing already at 550/half day.

I bet you see some nice large power boats on the market at reasonable prices this winter!

BigBo, a few times I've been told in broken english that they're taking shorts cuz they gotta feed the family. Figured if they can't afford food then they sure can't afford gas now either.

Well, like I said, that's wrong. I'm not the PC Police, but still don't think all should be labeled for the faults of some. My personal situation allows me to fish with some "non english speaking" people and all that I know follow the reg's as much as the rest of us.

Now, lets forget about gas prices and go fishing!
