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

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.

By "non english speaking", I assume you mean people from foreign countries that like to fish. Why is that a problem? I'm not trying to start anything, but I hear this very often and I know and understand the thought process about following the reg's and littering issues that are beaten like a rented mule. So, possibly a bad choice of words? Or, as I touched on, an incomplete thought process?
Again, I'm not trying to start any conflicts over the issue. I just think we need to be careful not to lump people into catagories because of nationality, or any other criteria.
Anyways, back to the topic at hand; Luckily, I saw a lot of this coming and got rid of the gas hog Dodge Ram that required a dedicated refinery in order to commute to work during the week and bought a Toyota pickup that I'm very happy with. I also downsized my boat. If I wasn't working so much, I'd fish as much as I normally do. Thankfully the mandatory overtimes are starting to taper off in time for the fall. Saved some vacation time, and will be hitting it pretty good soon. |
