oil $117

quack quack · 04-18-2008, 02:56 PM

Gas at the port wholesale is $3 a gal so fill up on your way home today.They say oil might hit $150 now.

Is the cost of fuel and other everyday expences affecting your fishing habits?

lcosta02 · 04-18-2008, 03:01 PM

No..it's fueling it. LMAO

(Sorry, I had to.)

quack quack · 04-18-2008, 03:11 PM

Easy there they might think you are making to much money.My sister is paying $3.90 a gal for diesel up north.That is a discount rate because they buy 5,000 gal at a time for there head boats.

I don't troll for wahoo. My boat hates the fast trolling speed. Twin 225 yam.

islandshark633 · 04-18-2008, 04:35 PM

NightCrawler · 04-18-2008, 07:03 PM

I fished with a friend today. He gased up on the way in at harbortown marina for 4.65 a gallon

foul hooker · 04-18-2008, 08:45 PM

Diesel $4.29 in N. Florida and QQ nice pic.

Nah, the drilling company buys the 300gph that we burn for 6 hours on the way out to their drilling platform. My fishing vessel is a 165' Breaux's Bay Craft named the Raymond M

F+++++++K!

Ron.38 Special · 04-20-2008, 08:34 AM

I buy in quantities of 2000 to 3000 gallons a drop for our construction company and we are no above 3.85 a gallon wholsale!

At the NMFS A/P meeting everyone was talking about what this is going to do to the offshore fishery.

Imagine being a PLL that is getting the same price for swordfish that they were getting 4 years ago when diesel was less tha $1.00!

Boats either aren't fishing, or they are fishing closer to shore.

Thanks to our president he has no clue whats happening in the U S or what the gas prices are at the pumps ...... all he cares about is IraQ and Iran ... fix things here in the U S and let get our Oil back in our possesion... more Bush Sh$T

Yep,four years ago it was around $1.25 for commercial diesel and the year before that it was around a dollar.I started commercial fishing 5 years ago and fish prices haven't changed much.You can't fish closer to shore if the fish aren't there,you still have to go where ever they are.

I think there should be a national strike on fuel!It is rediculous.

My uncle runs a big machine shop up here in Jville and does bearings for ships sometimes.He was talking with one of the owners of a container ship and he told them they burned around 10,000 gallons of fuel per day!

baldurs390 · 04-21-2008, 08:43 AM

dbisland · 04-21-2008, 08:52 AM

baldurs.....$ 315,000 ?......Which Lydia are you on ?

Certifiable · 04-21-2008, 09:00 AM

I fueled up my Diesel Mega Cab last Thursday....4.19 a gallon.....ON LAND

That makes me feel a little better when I pay 5.00 a gallon at the dock in Lucaya.

I guess you got to pay to play....and I'm not putting a sail on my Corntender

baldurs390 · 04-21-2008, 03:17 PM
