Put the bad boy on cruise at 70mph and the canal is only 1hr and 15 mins away for me......~ 100 miles 
Have not made any trips to the outer cape as I am limiting my fishing mileage to 100 miles one way. |

I used to oun a Chev 3/4 ton that got an even 10MPG. Plowing snow, 10MPG, towing a 28ft travel-trailer, 10MPG. Empty, 10MPG.
It didn't matter, Highway, 10MPG, city, 10MPG. It was a 350cubic in.punched out to 380cubic inch. It would pull a house off its foundation. But, I still wish I had that truck.It had a 10,000lbs trailering package in it.

Fishing less than half as as much as I used to. Thinking about starting a fishing car pool club.   |

Fishing more this year than I have in the last 5 years. Keeping within 60 miles of home though. Mostly canal and SoCo. Outer cape doesn't exist in my mind anymore. Probably doing 3 trips/week at $40 per trip for gas and eels. Not too bad, there are worse habits.  |
It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole

Since I got the boat, it cost me a lot less to fish in the Bay than to run to SoCo. Yamaha 4 stroke is amazing on gas. I miss the pounding surf but don't miss the $22 for gas each trip.
