Yes, I admit that I'm starting to feel the pinch. I think I will cut back on my fishing.

Really now, are gas prices starting to affect your fishing?
Okay, I know I've been asking this question fairly frequently, but let's take a fresh poll. With unleaded low grade approaching $4 per gallon ahead of the Labor Day weekend, are you going to partake of the pump?
Be honest.
Thanks.

I'm going to modify my fishing but don't expect to fish less this year than last - likely more...

My wife leaves me
My wife finally got fed up with me not being around and now I can barely afford to take local trips due to prices.  |

cut back with the Sea Hunt unless I start fishing [[3] with gas money /
Now I,m gonna keep the CRV & look into getting a trailer hitch /with it I will then tow the tin boat .that uses like no gas ////
soooooooooooooooooooooo I,ll keep doing it
But between gas & the cost of eels //I,m getting closer to crossword puzzles as a [[thing]]  |
ENJOY WHAT YOU HAVE !!!

From the boat: I think I'll be "drifting" eels more than trolling...and making shorter runs in the boat.
From the beach: I won't be running up and down the beach as much, and will keep the truck in just a few spots. |
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Ive been so busy its only been 1-2 times a weekend and maybe 1 weeknight..
Working two jobs and going to class does that to you...
but.. since my second job I get to make my own hours and work as much or little as I want, Ill gladly work the extra hour or two to keep it up.

Let's see my fishing trips to salt are 450 miles @ 20 mpg = 22.5 gallons @ $3gal= 67.50 Yea, I guess it's gonna cut into my fishing.........I want an electric car. But just wait till that goes up.

These prices will definitly impact my fishing. I have a Dodge Durrango,which really sucks on gas. I have even resorted to taking my wife's Toyota Camery on some trips, and brought some two piece rods. The Toyota is not quite the same, since I can not bring all my stuff with me. However, the Toyota does get much better MPG.
