Just as my fishing season is ramping up, it seems like the oil and gas companies are one step ahead of me. Gas on average is the Minneapolis areas had risen about 50 cents a gallon in the past two months. I would assume that this could just be the beginning.
Last summer when I was fishing a lot and traveling to tournaments, I was paying almost $4 a gallon, but as fall approached and I was ready to winterize my boat gas prices plummeted to less then $2 a gallon.
It just seems like big oil knows when I need to use more fuel and makes me pay a premium for it. They waited just long enough to raise prices until I already forked out all my entry fees, so I am dedicated to make those trips and buy that fuel for the rest of the season.
I am not sure I feel better or not now, but I am sure most of you are feeling the same pain!
Until next time,
