I am 95% a boat fisherman. This season I find myself doing fewer trips, and watching the tides and weather for the absolute best conditions. If its iffy, and I think I have a slim shot at catching fish I stay home.

I have also slowed down in the truch driving to and from and in the boat. I try to run at the most economical speed in my boat averaging 3NMPG. I am only doing 22knots, but I still get to the fishing grounds and the tank lasts a little longer.

I have been keeping my boat on the trailer down near the State ramp to save some money over slip fees for a few years. I think this year a slip would have been cheaper because I could drive an economy car to and from the slip, and just bring the truck down to haul for street gas. Oh well, maybe next year she'll be in a slip.
