Wait till you guy's get aload of the new fees the towns are going to impose this year.One of them is called a water way usage fee.That is for all boats trailered or not.Then the boat ramp fees are being increased too.

Not this year sadly, boat is on the market in RI as soon as the windshields come in. I'll be boatless soon hopefully and then I've got some other baggage I have to shed  . |

Bob, quit complaining about the boat fees. You live in Fairhaven, all you pay is $1/ft. The out of towners will pay $3/ft. Me too, more money for crabs. With new federal regulations, I wonder what pogies will cost. There must be three feet of snow around my boat. Snow has been sliding down the canvas cover and piling up around the boat.

My buddy owns a gas station. He had to order gas today, if the truck was there before midninght he got todays price, if it was'nt it was going to be .04/gal more. He told them if the truck does'nt get here by midnight, he was dumping them as a supplier.. The truck showed at 745pm.

I've got a bad feeling about gas prices for this upcoming season.
I think it will make more of an impact than most people realize.
Save up those gas pennies...

Some of the gas credit cards out there are offering 5% rebates, it might be worthwhile. While 5% may not seem like much it could add up to a couple of free tanks a year.

I will fish no matter what!! I sell what I catch so if I can at least pay for the gas I will be fine! (thats easy!!)
As for pumping gas in Alaska, I am for it but it will make no difference at all!! We have no place to refine it and it will take years to build a refinery to refine it.
Also Americans are a bunch of greedy SOB!! We could not afford are own gas! With the cost of laborer, to build, pump, and refine we will never be able to sell it for what the other countries do!
Just look at the out put of the refinery's we have now, They don't even pump enough to put a dent in it!! The only time they start pumping is when the prices go up.
I moved to the Cape 9 years ago to fish!! And fish I will!

Hell.....you only live once. We all know ways to solve the problem but we forget who we're dealing with......THE GOVERNMENT !!! They play their games and we pay the price. I don't have many years left so I'll enjoy it.
