Gas prices

[skinny]

If the gas gets above $4 a gallon at the gas stations then it will probably be at or near $5 at the marina's. I run out of West harbour and the gas at Fox Haven was the cheapest last year. My Sportcraft 230 Fisherman is pretty economical but I will probably do more drifting than trolling. Being retired and on a fixed income makes it a little harder but I have enough family and friends
to go along and help on the gas. Im at the campground 95% of the time from April 1st to Oct. 31 so that saves. Even at that I live only 45 miles away. I will do most of my fishing around the islands and will let everyone know how I do on channel 84. Good luck to everyone this year.

The Channel 84 sounds great!!!! Count me in as well. If i can save time chasing the eyes that will help all if the gas really gets that high. Hope i can put some of you on fish when i find them. I usually fish north of Kellys and off the shouls. Hope to hear good reports.

I am new to the site but have watched it a lot last year. I come out from IL 3or 4 times a year for the last 10 years and stay in a condo in WW. The gas is going to hurt but the great fishing will ease the pain. For someone like myself
channel 84 is a great idea and will save fuel. I will post reports nightly when I am up there and when I get on fish channel 84 will know.
Thanks for all your help

I'am also retired, I think anybody on a fixed income should get a discount at the gas pump LOL ! I also have a 272 sportcraft with a efi 350, not to bad on gas, had a good year last year i troll alot , but mite have to go back to drifting if the gas goes out of site. I have the "ROOSTER RUN" boat, i been running out of Fenwick since 1982--i monitor ch.71, i can also go to ch.84 it's a good idea--if i can help someone i will, good fishin' everyone, boat goes in sometime in April.

Marina Gas is always over priced anyways ... 77" 230 Sportcraft with a 165 hp merc ... we'll be out cruising the lake in a month sippin gas, and a couple cold beers (probably Natty or Busch because gas is so damn expensive) ... Turtle Creek Marina and the "Green Whorenet" ... Good Luck This Spring Boys

Yea gas is gonna be a big factor for me again this year for sure. Twin big blocks are fine and dandy until you pull up to the fuel dock. Especially when your 390 gallon fuel tanks are almost empty. A few years back a fill up was around $1500. Me and the wife can hardly afford to fish by ourselves anymore. To really get out and after the eyes we need friends to come along to help out and justify the expense, and in this slow economy, its hard to find friends that want to chip in to fish. But regardless of gas prices, I will be out there breaking my bank as I always do trying my best to catch them eyes. So yes it will affect my mind and my wallet, but I will still be out there. Always!
