With my Ford Expedition towing the boat, I average 10.6 MPG. 200 miles round trip at today's gas prices would cost $64.00 (actually more since I used $3.40 for pricing and gas by me is $3.48 per gallon). Three trips a week = $192.00 x 4 weeks a month = $769.81. Neither me nor the wife could live with that kind of expenditure.
I guess I need to buy a fuel sipping car and either learn to fish from the bank or join the plastic navy!

Yeah it is expensive. Me not being married helps out a lot too....LOL. I will have to slow it up some as I can't do this every month. There are certain times of the year when the places I fish get stacked up with certain specie and I tend to wear it out during those times. browntrout thinks I should move to Arkansas....fish the White River in the morning for trout and up in the lake for everything else....LOL. I have not ruled it out.
