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!
