If fuel was 2/3 lower where would you fish?

[Just One More Cast]

I just started reminiscing about some of the trips I used to take because fuel cost just didn't matter. If it was under $1 a gal again how far would you travel in a weekend compared to now?

I'd head up to Waubay area and not think much about it, would also probably take a trip or two to the Gavins Point Dam to fish for Smallies.


Also used to go to a lot more trail rides (horses) than we do now, just costs to much these days to haul the trailer.

Columbia River. Might even stop at Ft Peck on the way.

where ever i could ;and there would be a lot of small camp ground and resort owners happy to see us all.I spent the last 5 years busting tail to get all my goodies up to date and now can't afford to use them more than once a month.so if fuel was 2/3 the price I would be able to use my toys a lot more.

The St. Mary's River up around Sault St. Marie. Dang I want to fish that area again before I die.

We are both retired, so "weekends" can be quite long. We would drive to Alaska.

If gas were $1/gallon, I could make a 1,500-mile round trip (Oahe, Ft. Peck, Lake Sharpe, McConaughy, South Dakota's glacial lakes, etc.), and with the money I spend @ $3.50/gallon, I could spend 3 to 5 days in a motel/fish camp--and I would!

As things stand now (just retired), not very likely more than once a year.

I'd go from Central WI to: (in a loop)

-Red Wing
-Lake Minnetonka
-Devil's Lake
-Lake Sakakawea
-Lake Oahe
-Lake Sharpe
-Roy Lake
-Lake of the Woods
-Lake Bemidji
-Cass Lake
-Lake Winnibigoshish
-Leech Lake
-Mille Lacs Lake

...for walleyes, muskies and smallies.

But, of course, that's a dream trip to say the least.
