View Poll Results: With gas going up, are you re-thinking your fishing outings?

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

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.

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!

This is all a good start for us to become fitter as a nation. More walking less driving.  |

Yep All ready had cut back now it will be even more. Good chance it will be only fresh water fishing this fall. Maybe one or two trips and that will be it. ThomT

All I can say is that I'm going to have to catch a lot more fish to justify the expense!

I am definately using the 14' tin boat way more then the 20' glass boat. So glad I did not get rid of it when I got the new boat 3 years ago. Paul

I used to be able to fill my truck on $20 and drive for a week!
Now it's going to take $20 to fill the tank on my ride on tractor to cut my grass!!! 
As for my boat,
I may have to start acceping (or asking for ) gas money when I take friends out !!!
I have definately changed some of my ways by fishing inside Boston harbor instead making LONG runs just to go cod fishing for fun!!! |
