High gas price's and fishing

[2xeagle16]

Gas prices at the pump have shot up to 142.9 at most gas stations today. Just wondering how much the price of gas affects you're fishing - what's the limit before you start leaving the boat at home.

It is what it is.... I'll be fishing

What's your breaking point?

Even at $2.50 I'll catch food for my table that will more then offset the cost of fuel.

I find you need to go out with 3 or 4 guys now adays to split the cost to make it worthwhile... depending on boat size of course...

 

[albernifisher]

I don't even look at the price of fuel, its the only hobby/habbit I have and its only a few months long.

 

[medherring]

I find I spend more time fishing a little closer to home now. When I had guests you go where the fish are, but for fun fishing I pay more attention.

I use my CNG bifuel ford truck as a boat fuel tanker, drive across the border and fill the tank tansfer it to the boat. last week payed 1.07us a liter

$1.44 ltr...first sign of spring everyone has exited the igloos...just warming up for summer gas prices............

no gas,no... no one rides for free...

Fuel is currently 10% higher than the same date last year. August I think we are going to see 1.60 a Litre this year

Always goes up before the long weekend! oh well what you gonna do, I along with Albernifisher try not to look at the price that close, it's a hobby, addiction and a great get away!! All good things come at a price..

Given how quickly the price went up, I'm betting on $1.75 - $1.99/l. Canadian dollar declining. We buy our oil in US dollars.

Canadian dollar declining. We buy our oil in US dollars.

...everything We buy is U$; otherwise there would be huge trade surplus generated - offloading our natural resources...

 

[fishspoon]

yup...I have feeling that we could see 1.60 L in coming weeks. Fishing kayaks are popular and they are in market now. Some reliable kayaks can be at around 800 dollars . Extreme kayak can be at around 2500 dollars range.

 

[fogged in]

I'm impressed with YOUR take on the cost of putting food on YOUR table!!!!
Would hate to figure out what the cost per pound I pay for the fish we eat...and we get plenty of fish.

 

[albernifisher]

I can't break it down to $ to lbs, the wife and I don't even eat fish

 

[Degree of Freedom]

doesn't matter how high it goes, I'll still be fishing.

 

[Stoisy]

Hitting the gym and making a row boat… Team Canada rowing crew will be full of fishermen pretty soon! Gold medals coming soon, who wants to join?

 

[spring fever]

I can't break it down to dollars a pound because if my wife found out -there would be H-ll to pay. Even I might question the sanity of fishing for food-It beats golf-you can't eat the balls either!!LOL

 

[lazoman]

Comox COOP is still 1.26, but changing to 1.47 very soon.

Huge lineups at pumps there, 4 cars per pump !

 

[LowTide]

I find that it's a lot cheaper in Ladysmith than in Nanaimo. I guess sometimes it's good to have a smaller 16ft open-whaler style boat. Just have to pick my days.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Can't leave all my money to the kids, so will fish just the same as always. Lol.....BB
