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!
