dream on boys

anyone care to decipher?

No one is coming to the Erie tribs cause of high gas prices, locals will have all the fish , but no revenue from the fishery...

when it comes to fishing who cares about the price of gas..fishing is priceless...

Please clarify that message. I will fish when i can reguardless of the
outlandish price for food and fuel. It is my only means of keeping my
sanity. We must all cut back on fun, but fishing will not be one of them.

Boy tippy u have him figured out.

Wow  $9 million down the hole I didnt know fishing brought that much in for the region?

I hear ya DC. I was get all depressed till a buddy of mine spelled it out for me. he said you got a truck that will hold 5 people and a boat that will hold six what are ya worried about. i replied where are we goin to get the 6th  person for the boat.

Gas can be $10 a gallon, and................... I"M GOING FISHING!!!!!
 
Ain't nuttin takin my fishing away from me. I don't smoke, hardly drink, and that's why I can almost afford to fish.

Peacy,  I hope yer right.  You can count on us local boys getting real fat on all the  walleye yin' outer towners stay outer town fer. 

Like peacy says...  gas is waaaaaaay to espensive!!!  Don't come up!!!  Cheaper feesh in the grocery stores!!!!  Not worth the gas!!!

Dream On!


See you guys out there, 'cuz I know yer comin' anyway.

hivue05 has said it right. doesnt matter what it takes to go fishing if thats what holds the sanity in and keeps the peace in your mind. even if your not catching much or nuttin at all , its the time spent with good friends or being alone , and fishing being the reality of keeping your mind in check. The hell with what happend during your day at work or whatever went wrong in the day im going fishing !!!!

Thanks peacy, you got me thinking.  I will just make one trip.  I will drive up in October, fish every day, and drive home in March.

god i just love a man with one thing one his mind and thats fishing..whoop whoop!! the hell with the price of gas.. just give up a few nites in the strip joint and ud have enough gas for at least half the way.. dont worry gas boy were commen like it or not...  we all gonna be there.. we run with the big dogs u can stay on the porch .. 

I don't have a clue what Peacy was talking about, so one of us is sane...  Last I knew I was???
 
I don't know what kind of money you guys are made of(or maybe you use the plastic), but with the $4/gallon gas coming I decided to just leave the boat in the garage.  And I AM A LOCAL.  Right now myy boat is sitting 4 miles from Walnut.  As much as I want to get out, I just cannot justify spending $30-40 each trip for gas in the boat, another $10 in the truck, and figure an even $50 at the bait shop.  I don't care how priceless those fish may be.  "holds the sanity in", I'll blow my brains out before I go back into debt just to fish.
 
I think you'll be seeing fewer of us locals out there this year since a lot of us were just able to afford to fish in the first place.  Now that the cost of living has skyrocketed we need to cut back.  It certainly won't be on food, or gas to get to work, or paying the mortgage.  It'll be on hobbies.  Since the first of the year I have gone fishing a grand total of 6 times, 4 ice fishing 2 for crappies.  And this is the person that has enough ice gear to outfit 5 people at once and usualy doesn't perch fish in the boat because he puts enough crappie in the freezer in the spring not to have to.  I've already decided that hunting next fall is going to be scaled way back.  Duck is flat out, goose is looking doubtful, and I can justify getting my 20 year old bow back out now only because if I let one fly I'll have a heck of a pay off in the freezer.

haha opps i mean over time lol sorry fishin on the brain

Yesterday - $42 gas - $7 bait - $24 food = $73 for 12 Saugeye (worth it) A weekend in Erie for 2 - approx. $350 - split $175 each (still worth it) Dave
