The gas prices will for sure hurt my fishing efforts. I was lucky enough 2 years ago to get a 19ft deep V Celebrity w/ 305 v-8. Came totallty equiped for $1500. It was my life long dream to get an Erie boat. Between gas in the tow vehicle, boat, ice, bait, pretzel rods, and pop, a fishing trip for me is about half a weeks wages. I'de be a lucky guy to get out more than once a month. With that said, The channel 84 idea is just what fisherman like me need. That could get guys like me an extra trip or two out on the lake on the gas savings. I have been on Erie since I was 8, fishing off my grandpa's boat. If I'm lucky enough to get on fish I will for sure be on the horn to anyone looking for help. Spring time I usually put in at Cullen Park, with the summer thru fall putting in at Meinke's West. Good luck everyone this season !!

I have viewed this site since its begining and now have begun to post.. , I to am concerened about the price of gas but it is the price we pay to have a boat..... mine is a 270 Sportcraft Offshore with a 454 in it....

I fish out of Meinke West. During the spring jig than will switch to perch around July 1, normally do not fish in the packs Have what you could say grew up on the lake and have my favorite hot spots that we normally do as well if not better than others I hear currently on Ch 72.. so if we get into them I would be glad to share my location on 84...

It's crazy. Seems like the economy is starting to turn and we hear good news then gas goes back up again. If the economy wants to truly recover then gas prices have to be kept under control. Unfortunately, no one has a quick fix and we are stuck with what other countries want us to pay. It will affect me not so much on the boat bc I have a 4 stroke yamaha that sips the fuel. My impact will be the 2 1/2 hour drive to where I keep the boat with my haul truck to get to the boat and drop it in. This is what happens when we send all of our jobs out of this country and rely on every other country for our goods and services. If there is ever another world war we are so screwed!! We make nothing ourselves anymore. Hey you asked!! I vented!!
