30-60 minutes for me. I have fishing in my backyard in Quincy but fishing at night in Quincy just doesn't do it for me.

Gas prices would NEVER affect my fishing habit...however distance and time to the water would.

.....

The way I feel about fishing........I WOULD MOVE CLOSER.

I live 5 minutes from my local river,,, 1/2hr to da big D,,, 20 mins. to an hour to SO many other spots which always make it harder to decide which one I'll allow to give me fish


...oh yeah, about 20 minutes to Gooses' boat,,, and then... ....FISH ON!!!

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

A tad over a hundred whether I hit the Quincy area or Connecticut shore. With gas where it is, I do not make these trips as often as I would like.

Surfcasting

30 to 90 minutes on a regular basis. Twice a week and sometimes more.

Interesting results from the question. I can't imagine driving down from Strubridge a couple of times a week. I hate going in that direction to get to New Braintree. At least the Pike is close and its all highway.

An hour and a half to anywhere. 2 young kids, a V8 and work have killed my fishing time this year.

I take the subway to my fav. spots here in Boston, that is when my girlfriend does not drive me to better spots. 1/2 hr by train, 1/2 hr by car. Pretty nice sized fish in the inner harbor; to 34 inches. All in the shadow of Boston's skyscrapers.

30 minutes minimum to be on fish, but most of my spots are further. Anything more than 10 minutes is too far in my opinion. More time travelling = less time fishing.

~80 miles one way so about an hour and a half. I’m lucky enough to have family near the shore so at least I can stay the weekend or overnight the majority of the time.

Nearest favorite spot, 45-50 minutes. But I can have a line in saltwater in 20.

I'm lucky if I can find the water...

All depends were I am going?

3 miles Yarmouth,
20 miles to Falmouth,
16 miles to Chatam,
10 miles to Barnstable Harborer

Fish out of Falmouth 80% of the time, of coarse it has to be the longest away also!!
