    Default I Will Work


    ...for a tank of gas in my gas hogging truck and little boat....

    Need anything done give me a call!!!!!!!! hahahah

    Seriously, I was just wondering if these higher gas prices have slowed down your fishing that much. I honestly can't say that it has. I live 10 min. from Lake Murray, but opt to drive thirty to our lake lot in Saluda to fish....I just like it better over there....better fishin' to me and a lots less boat traffic!

    Even when I have been down the lake this summer I can't see a change in lake goers...I think people are biting the bullet for the most part!
    Hooking up every chance I get!

    It sure has slowed my fishing down. Only been three times since last part of April.

    I used to like to hit the lake at least once a week. With prices like they are now though, I can only afford to go maybe once a month. I'm sure when the fish start biting good again though I'll be finding ways to pay for the gas. One problem I have is the closest lake is 50 minutes away and my truck gets about 11mpg pulling the boat. Once I get there, my boat only gets about 2mpg. Costly.
    To heck with work, lets go fishing.

    I can tell on lanier. unfortunately it dont stop the jet skiers but I have noticed people going slower instead of full throttle and I have had a problem getting a parking spot anywhere on the lake, there is still a lot of boats but with so many ramps closed you would expect to see more lots full.
