Definitely going to have to cut back a bit – hopefully not in amount of time spent fishing but I will make some changes in the ways I’m fishing.
More surf casting and yak trips less time out on the boat. When I am on the boat I’ll probably do less running around and fish spots closer to the launch. Might also try and find some fishing partners to share expenses…
Thankfully the stripers are in the rivers now and I can walk to spots to catch them. By June I’ll be driving 200 miles (round trip) to fish

I'm not really a pimp....more of a 'love broker.'
No cutting back here.  |

Not changing the way I fish because of the gas prices. In the broad scheme of things 2- gas per gallon versus 3- gallon is only 25- a person on 50 gallons for all day fun. Bronko I am definitely taking the boat out Saturday.

Were not cutting back at all. All our boats are very fuel efficient. We could do an overnight canyon trip from falmouth for $100 in gas.  |

No open flames allowed in my laboratory........
I fish so infrequently now if I cut back I wouldn't be allowed to look at a fishing rod...........  |

If it gets too bad, I'll just stick to the east end and not fish the west end as much  |
