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   |

Not an issue for me. I live 5-10minutes away from many good shore spots and this year I have a small 16' skiff with a 15hp 4 stroke that will actually add to my fishing budget. So I should be fishing more than ever this year!

Down for the count right now. Hopefully, I can score a yard sale special soon. |

I'm back in a car this year, 16 mpg in a truck just gets old when the fishing is good and I'm going every day. Roof rack is on and I'm ready to go.
Obviously a truck or SUV is the ideal fishing vehicle (or necessary, if you like the sand), but I'll still be fishing and traveling to where the fish are when I otherwise would have been looking at a gas pump in fear.
I'll be fishing as hard this year as I did last year, and keeping more money in my pocket. Hopefully Newport will produce better all season long and I won't have to travel as much this year.  |
