I was browsing through a forum on FishExplorer.com and saw
an interesting question posed by one of the members: Are the higher gas prices
making you a better fisherman?
I thought this was pretty interesting and got me to think
about how it affects our fishing trips.
If gas prices continue to rise, will we fish an area more thoroughly
instead of running around the whole lake looking for that next great spot? I know it has already started to affect the
decisions of some fishermen prefishing for events. Instead of launching and driving across the
lake to a spot, they are seeking ramps that are closer to where they intend to
fish.
It's still at the beginning of the rise, but some are
predicting $5.00 per gallon of gas in the near future. How will this affect your fishing and at what
point will you decide it's not worth it to take the boat out?

There are some pretty large lakes in MN, but for the most part they are small enough that it's not a huge problem for me. Now feeding the truck in order to get to lake is another question entirely... I don't expect it to have to much effect though as my favorite holes are all within 20 minutes of me now anyway.
It won't affect me, I'll always fish. Maybe a few less long trips, but I'll still be there no matter what.
