This may get moved but I think it pertains to fishing and should stay on this forum. How much has it affected you and are you going much less. It is really starting to slow me down. The wife says I'm spending too much and as bad as I hate to admit it she just may be right. I live so far away from all the lakes it's killing me. The only sport/hobby I've got other than hunting that I love to do and I can't afford to do it anymore. I had to vent as gas here around town just hit 3.75 per gallon, it's a joke, supply and demand my arse. Maybe I should just move to Jamestown become a bum, mow yards for gas money and let the government take care of me. I'll become what I call a government baby. All I need is a little shelter, alot of food, I like to eat, I can hurt some groceries, and I'll be close enough to the lake so gas won't break me, what a plan, LOL.
