So my buddy just did a two day trip in his yellowfin with three other friends of mine. They burned 960 gallons of gas! I can’t imagine what that cost at the marina pumps in Venice.

I paid $6.70/gallon at Duskin Point on Smith last Sunday. I imagine it would be north of that in Venice.

A little over $5,600. I just left from a 2 day trip in Venice the first of June and it was around $5.65 at the marina.

FYI, our fuel bill was a little over $1,500. We were in a 36 foot Contender with twin 350's.

That's a lot of money for some fishing...I'm sure it'll decrease some boats on the water...I know we've booked a couple charters in the keys for the 4th and it's a lot higher than it was last year same time frame, all they can do is pass it along

A 25ft cat hull with twin 4 stroke 90’s is looking pretty good right now.

Ouch!! I hope the buddies split the fuel since he supplied the ride. I don't know where he keeps the boat but it probably wouldn't be cheap to get the boat to Venice for starters. This hunting and fishing thing is getting expensive. It must be killing the six pack capts. with twin diesels. I know they will pass it along, but they probably won't have as many takers.

Guys , sounds like a lot of fun but I'll stick with cats out of the river

Im just gonna watch people hunt an fish on youtube this year

Catfish dave🤪

It’s double what it was last year, but I don’t know if I could afford it at $2.50/ gallon. That’s still $2400.

The boat my brother billfishes on holds 2,600 gallons of diesel and they take an extra 800 gallons in bladders. Haven’t heard exactly how much they burned in the Biloxi tournament yet

The dock master at orange beach and I drink coffee just about every morning and said during the billfish tournament last weekend in Mississippi, he figured 73 boats burned around a million in fuel

That’s crazy!! I do know of one boat that burned 1400 gallons.

cranks every time and burns no fuel!

DAMN

Deep sea fishing has become a rich mans game.

3bailey3 is on to something... Let's call it 'shallow' sea fishing powered by a ham sandwich and gatoraide.

Rec 90 was 5.89 to 6.29 in the keys this week. Never saw the price for diesel. There were boars flying everywhere like the days of Trump. I would hate to foot the bill on some of the boats I saw last week.

Its $6 to 6.50 per gallon at the marinas in OB for non ethanol
