Yes, I admit that I'm starting to feel the pinch. I think I will cut back on my fishing.

Really now, are gas prices starting to affect your fishing?
Okay, I know I've been asking this question fairly frequently, but let's take a fresh poll. With unleaded low grade approaching $4 per gallon ahead of the Labor Day weekend, are you going to partake of the pump?
Be honest.
Thanks.

I'm going to modify my fishing but don't expect to fish less this year than last - likely more...

ABSOLUTELY !!!! At least Kerry doesn't own any oil companies or have any royalties coming from the Middle east to him.
Bush is all for having the price go out of sight, the higher it goes ... the more he makes, plain and simple.
And that clown he calls his VP is making a fortune on feeding the military in the Middle east.
So where does Bush and Chaney not feel the pinch of the high prices? They don't feel it, we pay for it and they collect on it ... I'm sure they feel real bad for us, they're crying all the way to the bank.
If any president needed to be shot it should be him, he can't even finish what daddy started and failed at in the Middle east, he's a loser just like his father was. |
Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

I am lucky enough to fish 99% of the time less than 5 miles from my house, so, for the most part fuel prices will not affect my fishing. I will still make a couple short adventures (200 miles round trip) this fall. It definitely helps that I have a diesel truck as I average ~20 mpg on the highway. While that is not great mileage these days as far as smaller car is concerned, it is good for a big truck that can carry all of my crap

$0.125/mile up from $0.0833/mile, 33% increase  $5.12 increase in an average surf fishing trip to Nebe's fishing grounds........ |
