Guys.

According to all the eggheads, a gas price hike is coming this summer and it won't be pretty. They say prices as high as $3.00 per gallon for regular unleaded.

And I don't suppose I have to tell you that marina gas prices are always about 10 to 50 cents a gallon higher at their pumps, because of both the convience and the (were else you gonna go) factor.

Being in the line of business I'm in, where burning 35 gallons a day on a charter is a blessing, I'm very much concerned about what this may mean for me as well as everyone who both travels and fishes on a regular basis.

I'm a little confused and a lot P O'd at those dark skinned Arabian neighbors of ours. Not only because of gas prices but for current and historical affairs they seem to have their hands in. They can mess with a lot of things and keep me just verbally complaining, but don't mess with my pleasure time.

A lot of people would give the nod to a lot of drastic things (policy wise) concerning them, if they feel this kind of discomfort.

If gas hits $3.00 per gallon it will change my fishing and alot of other things also.

No effect the first year. All the tournament applications are in for the most part...........no backing out now.

I'll continue guiding and tournament fishing like I always do but will change other habits or cut down on other things to compensate. If it continues I may have to pass the extra cost off to the clients.
