wind weather and gas

[rscotfish]

the wind has to be screwing up the fresh spawn on lake erie with 8 footers out of northeast one day then 50 mph next day out of southwest with no water in channels gale warnings tornandos water going down 9 ft from one day to the other.gas prices at 4.15 a gallon now and suppose to be 5 bucks by memorial day thats 6 bucks at the marina.at 120 gallon tank thats 720 dollars a fill up. spent money on dock 160, 300 for insurance, 70 dollars for my 3 year tags, 80 dollars for towing insurance, 100 dollars for lift in,1000 dollars on repairs,300 bucks for wax bottom paint, 250 for new fishing equipment, 1200 new lowrance gps /fishfinder and no fish in frezzer. walleyes 8.99 a pound at telegraph fish market and they are the small ones 1-2 pounders, with bait gas and ice and fish cleaning its a 150 average trip if not more for gas. if i just bought my fillets 899 times 18 tahats just 162 dollars with enough walleye fillets to frezze for winter. put the rest of money in the bank sell boat after 27 years put that money in the bank. wife wants to go to hawaii so i will take her if i get to fish taking a charter there is cheaper then fishing erie. its a shame the gas prices are effecting us this way. charters will have to raise there price to pay for fuel. so do we sit at the dock, fish for perch close to shore, or just sit on boat and get drunk, case of beer and bottle of whiskey 25 bucks then i wony give a poop
