How far do you live from your fishing spots

I live 65 miles from my boat. door to door. But I am fishing South County this year after a 4 years away. Sooo I guess it is alright. Although I wish I lived in Charlestown for sure!!!! driving down that freeway...

110 miles, about an hour 45 minutes. Every Thursday nite to Sunday from April to November. My non fishing friends (or whats left of them) think I have a problem. No problem at all...

Grew up in Hingham, saw Boston Harbor at its worst. I would never take a fish out of that water.

5 minutes to boat ramp, 9 minutes to Cuttyhunk ... 16 minutes to Squiby. About $65.00 in gas!

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

wow, i really admire the dedication of the people 50 miles plus. I didn't realize so many live so far away from their spots of choice...

Im not sure if I'd be lucky enough to have the time if I lived that far away.

It depends--walking or driving?
