im' afraid the recent oil prices will be with us this summer and gas will be a factor on how far i run vs. the quality of fish i catch from one area to another.
for starters, luckily i topped it off this past winter so i will run from huron to crib reef the first time out
im 'sure the charters will feel this impact and prices will climb
there is nothing cheaper that has more energy than fossil fuels. when these prices climb for whatever reason, it impacts every one in everything we purchase.
running a 6,000 pound craft 20 knots or against erie's heavy waters will get expensive. we will have to pay to play!.........
