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.

I am glad I filled up a couple of days ago at $2.60 full tank and ready to go for the wekend! Will it slow me down nope! I will eat spam, cat food, or anything else but miss a night of fall fishing? No way!
Steve and I are considering car pooling now instead of bringing those two thirsty V8s all the time.......

No Lookin Back
Filled up my truck this morning, $72.00. My boat is fairly economical with a 115 HP Yammy. The only thing that gets me through the week is thinking about fishing on the weekend. Maybe 2 months left, best fishing of the season is ahead, I'm biting the bullet.
I do miss my tin boat. With the 30 HP Honda I would maybe burn 2 gallons of gas, some days only 1. It only weighed 500# so you did not even know you were towing it. Clammer bought it from me. What a visionary!

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. |
