Title: Marine Fuel @ $5.15 in Newport
Tags: Marine Fuel
Blog Entry: This is bullshit...  $5.15 /gal  for marine fuel and there seems no limit to how high it's going to get.  With that said, I know personally I cannot afford to fish without more than 3 people (who chip in $$) and I have no plans to "explore" high spots like I used to and based on the lack of postiings on other sites, it looks like very few are getting the chance to explore as well.   I think species like Mr T. are in a lot of trouble this year as it is one of the cheapest trophy fish to go after  when you consider travel distance and fuel consumption... I'm hoping there is a way to power the boat with whale oil as lately they seem pretty abundant...  Whale oil.... hmmmm  didn't we try this already?    I would rather send my $$ to japan vs. the saudi's .......  At least the japanese are fishing fools like me!
