Wow...everyone sure does have something to say don't they?!! To answer your question MHALL...Heck yeah it's affected the fishing trips I take...Here I am making more money than I've ever made in my life, our work load here is booming, etc...but I'm feeling squeezed on money anyway. I can only blame it on the cost of fuel because that's what's driving the high price of everything else.

Like someone else stated, my favorites are Cumberland River, Dale and Big C (in order)....but I'm not sure I'll be able to go as much (which is probably good news for those who live near those bodies of water and like to fish).

The farm pond I go to is about 28 miles from my house...I usually don't keep any fish when I go there, (mainly because I'm to lazy to clean them), but now I'm thinking I might keep some just to help offset the price of fuel to get me there and back.
