Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

On the radio I was listing today, they said there should be no problem with gas hitting $3.00 this summer!

What if anything is this going to do to your fishing??

I think as long as I am in to the fish making a buck I will be fine.
But if I am not selling, I am going to have it on the4 trailer more them not *:-/

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

It won't affect me other than cost me more money. The way I look at is, I only really use the boat for 4 months out of the year. So in those precious 4 months of mostly weekend boating I intend to use the boat how ever I want without fuel usage affecting my decisions. The boat spends 8 months a year not burning any gas while sitting on the trailer. Don't get me wrong, I'm not happy with fuel prices but I can't see anything keeping me from boating.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

I don't think it will. There are several hot spots within 4 miles of the ramp. If I didn't fish a round of golf would cost $35 or more. What ever you play you'll have to pay. I wish I had shares of Exxon they are going to have record profits again. Bill Mc ;D

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

yes it is i cant go out as much as i would like to but the gas prices are going to come down as soon as the bushes leave office
when clinton was the pres we were paying 89 cents a gallon so what do you think happened ::)

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

I would love to see it come down!!

But I havwe to diagree with you on this one!

They have been wanting us to pay for years!! And they have been preping us since last summer for the $3 mark!!

I will bet that when we hit the $3 mark it will level off and and stay there or around there for a long while.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Exxon/Mobile made 10 BILLION in PROFITS the last 3 months of 2005...something is seriously wrong here. Someone needs to give Bush A BJ so he will get impeached:)

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

It won't slow me down, I'll just stay in the river and use the trolling motor. But you can bet your a$$ I'm gonna look hard at who I'm gonna vote for!!!

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

I've got one hobby that's fishing so I have to go no matter what my tow vehicle burns 3 times more than the boat on a trip :(

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

IT may slow me down a little, may mean a few more trips in the small boat, but I'm still goin.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

I think that your right Joe , $3 is going to be here for a while . As for the oil co's they are only going to let it go so high as we will convert to something else . Bush is anything but my hero , but what can he do short of grabbing the oil in Iraq . ( fine with me ) I'm just going to have to pay the price and slow down. It sucks ! but I'm not sitting on the dock......

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Yea Bush has sent the price up and only he his buddys and the oil co benfit!

No matter who the prez is, the price is set forever now!! They are not going to lower it thats for sure!

I might make CB bring the tin boat here for us to use?? It is going to be much cheaper!

I just better get into some fish this year to sell thats all I got to say!

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

NO! *I'll be out there no matter what.

You all can't seriously blame Bush for the price of gas! * ::) *That makes about as much sense as blaming him for the high number of hurricanes last year, IMO.

It's all economics, supply and demand. *Lower our dependence on oil and the price will drop.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

I Agree too Pipe

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Gas prices will not affect my fishing or pleasure riding.

What is confusing and frustrating is watching the gas prices at the pumps go up .10 every Friday for no apparent reason.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Just loaded my reels up with power pro yesterday, 70 dollars worth fu@king Bush
just bought groceries , took out a loan fu@king Bush
wife wouldn't roll over last night fuc@ing Bush
raining here today fu@king Bush
have to go to work again tonight fu@king Bush

Anyhow I'm going to go fishing if I have to rob the gas station to do it. ;)

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

LOL! ;D

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Was over 3 here for a few weeks after Katrina. Went offshore all three weekends. 8)

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

I'll have you know those hurricanes WERE Bush'es fault! 8)

It won't effect me at all. I will just bite my tongue and buy the gas. I sure as he11 ain't gonna sit around the house.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

The way I see it, they are robbing us. You wouldn't be stealing it, rather, you'd be taking back what was rightfully yours in the first place :-/

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

I wish that Pres. Bush or my case in NC Gov. Easley would take a little bit of the gas tax that we pay when our boats are filled and do some dredging of the waterways with it . It seems like all of our waterways and inlets are filling in .

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

He11 Yeah, NC Gov. Easley went up on the gas tax in stead of going down as requested by the whole state made us the 2nd highest gas tax in the US. He's the one WE NC people should raise he11 at not Bush. And why is it we have to pay highway gas tax at the pumps at a Marina for our boats??? they sure don't do any dredging of the waterways with it . It seems like all of our waterways and inlets are filling in.

I SAY FIRE EASLEY

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Shoot them all and let God sort em out
lawyers - down elevator
politicians - down elevator
mobsters - down please
IRS agents - down double down
Fisherman - up please
Hunters - up baby up
Super Models - Stop by Willys house then UP

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Skools,
Save your reciepts when you fill up your boat, you can write off the gas tax (not the cost of gas by itself) on your taxes for the very reason you mentioned. My dad's been doing it for years.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Blame Bush

1. What about the SUV tax write off for small businesses - part of the Bush's economic stimulis package. What small business didn't pass on the Free SUV tax write off?

2. Military Demand pumps up fuel prices everyday.

3. Tiny investment in alternative fuels. 150 million in ethanol research for this year.



No one is blaming him for the hurricanes, but he isn't doing anything to reduce our dependence on oil.

Tin - "blow jobs for bush" has a nice ring to it.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

dont mean shat to me... just havta work a bit of o/t and get the hell out there.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

A year ago I would have never thought I would have paid over $3.25 a gallon. Are they setting us up for $4 a gallon this year?

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

damn....hit $2.97/gallon here yesterday :-[

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

the price won't stop me from getting out as often as possible,I might use my tin boat more often for those solo, local trips. Who would ever have thought it would cost 20.00 or more to fill a six gallon tank????Unbelievable.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Honda's pretty easy on the gas, so hi-$$ at pump won't slow things down much around here...saw $2.73 gal at Sunset...bought $2.64 on way home yesterday...

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Hit $2.61 here yesterday! :'(

Anyone want to buy a V20?? :'(

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

i would never sell my 20
but if you recall right before the election wasnt gas prices falling
i wonder why
if any pres needed a bj hes the one
we had hurricanes forever but NOW the gas prices go up JUST THE MENTION OF ONE AND THE PRICES GO UP
he doesnt even talk about it or maybe he does but i cant understand him
lets face it he doesnt master the english language to
well

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Let's see...man grows up in politicly powerful, oil-rich family. dad was CIA director and pres. of US w/world-wide global oil connections and benefactors, including American oil company executives, gets elected pres. of US, with backing of big oil, goes to war, destabilizing entire major oil-producing region, photographed walking hand-in-hand (really) w/Sheik Abdullah and he has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that you and I are payin' nearly 3 times more at the pump than B4 he was elected...

Do I believe he did it all himself and he alone is to blame?...of course not; all the interests he represents and who put him in office did, but w/out a CIC in place to go to war, it couldn't have happened...

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Hey Oz, Florida got a bad rap when Goerge W was elected by what, 2 votes, so me and the wife moved down here to make sure that won't happen again.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Great try, Franco...more people shoulda followed your lead and made sure he didn't get RE-elected...but we got him for another term...just wonderin' the other day how bad it'll get over the next 3 years...all that "political capital" he's BOASTING about...think he's runnin' a deficit there, too ::)

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

I'm glad I got a boat I can trailer to the gas station. Hurts but I ain't quitting. Life's too short.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Crazy stuff, but so true...Clinton gets impeached by lying about getting a BJ....Bush lies about WMD (and other things) and nothing??? I'm so disgusted with this administration it makes me ill.

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

I'm w/you, Tin...CA tossed their gov B4 end of his term...would be bigger task on pres level...problem is, that'd leave us w/ Cheney as pres, so no real gain...w/ things as they are now, the next three years are gonna be tough...

I think Clinton's actions were reprehensible (he got off too light), but were confined in their scope of impact...much wider-spread and longer-lasting damage due to this admin's actions...bull in a global china shop...

Re: Are the gas prices going stop your fishing??
 

Regardless how high the price of gas goes, I'll go fishin'.
