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

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.

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!  |

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

drove home wednesday saw prices up into the 3.37 range.
passed a station that still had 2.79 and got in the 10-car long line to fill up.
got home, grabbed all the gas jugs I could find and headed to the local sta for 2.99 gas. would have cost me more to drive all the way back to that lone 2.79 station.
parked the truck and didnt go into the office Thursday or Friday - that saved me 16 gal. my truck has been gettin like 13mpg I really need a new one. I wonder if these gas prices would be enough to offset the payments...
I am already scraping money for the rebuild of the house.
Gonna start walkin to my favorite fishin hole.

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