How will $4 per gallon change your season?

My 90 on the Skiff and I will do alright. I would like to find a place closer to the water to store the boat on the trailer. It ends up be almost more gas to tow it down to the ramp then to fish on it.
I don't like leaving it on a hook, I have never been comfortable doing that.

You only come this way once....so the only fishing habit that will change for me will be how much I spend on fuel! I work hard, winters are long and I look forward to my fishing season so I am not going to let rising fuel costs deep six my fishing in any way, shape or form! As I said....life is short....your dead a long time so I am going to take my swings while I can......cause you don't know when your time may run out my friends!

17.8 mpg on the last spin up to and back from Maine. I'm really starting to like diesel now. Price is much more controlled than gas. Seems to change alot less. It just went up at the local station 17 cents in 2 days but it's still cheaper than the gas now. I got a laugh the other day. I drove by his station at 7:10pm and he was at one price and he was closed all day. I drove by again at 5am the next day and he don't open til 7 place was dark cept for the new prices. Guy must wear a freakin commando suit at nite to go change the price board

I am the same way, I was agonizing on if I should get a slip but, I wont be able to sleep at night without the boat in the driveway Everytime it rains I will be pulling my hair out wondering if my bildge pump is working ! Your right the cost of towing is expensive but, for me anyway the ramp is about a mile away and right in the center of the bay so, I am lucky in that regard.
