I'm not sure how many Pittsburg Marine Tournament fisherman noticed the short term change in the gas price's on Friday and Saturday of the past week, but, my partner and I did see the $.20 increase that lasted less than a 24 hour period, at ALL Somerset gas stations that were on Hwy. 27. We filled our boat and truck at exactly 2:31 PM Friday for $3.90/gal. Prior to the meeting the price jumped $.20. By the time the tournament was over on Saturday, it was back down to $3.90/gal. It seems that Somerset is trying to reduce their economic impact by the Wolf Creek Dam situation, by over charging the fisherman. We sent an email to the Attorney General and Somerset Chamber of Commerce. AG says they won't do anything. Not considered price gouging. There have been several tournaments that have moved to other lakes because of the water level. Those who stayed with LC just received a smack in the face. If you feel the way I do, I suggest we don't use Somerset for our gas needs to fish Cumberland, if at all possible.
