I am surf guy who lives 62 miles one way from SoCo. $4 a gallon will definitely put a crimp in my travels. I get 20mpg roughly so thats 3 gallons each way. $25 per trip will start to hurt since last year I fished 100+ nights. $2,500 just for gas is outrageous.

No boat, back in the suds.

Like T19 said,
Still go fishing but do a stay over and make a few days out of it.

Last year we paid $5.00 at the dock in Harwitch per gal.
24 miles out to crab ledge,another 20 miles trolling for tuna.

Looks like I will be eating more fish and chips from the pizza place!

Its about 85 miles each way for my regular stomping grounds in RI. I will take a real hurting w/ $4 @ 17mpg. It would most likely take out all my mid-week trips, and Ill use the 14' tin skiff w/ 20hp during the week, and can do 3, 3 hour trips on 6 gal.
Even at $3, I will be picking my days and fishing smarter throughout the season in order to save $ chasing mediocre fish

Sooner or later you're going to realize just as I did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path. - Morpheus
