X2!
I just made a big trip to White Oak today. There everywhere!!! Problem is all I seen them catching was bream.....I fished all up in that brush and drove an hour and half for nothing. Stopped by Arlie Moore on the way back and it was as usual, not a fish, not even a bite on the highly talked about Degray. I told my dad tonight we know over in OK we can catch crappie at anytime, why waste our time over here in AR for nothing. I filled the boat and truck back up this evening before I go off to work and gas goes even higher. I told my dad we will never see someone with enough pebbles stand up to these oil companies, its pitiful!
If gas goes up 70 cents, that's only 20 bucks more per tank to go fish. Who's gonna stop fishin for 20 bucks? Not me!!!

Amen
It never fails, the things that give a man the most pleasure alway cost the most. Like GAS to power our toys.
Hafta go fishin' just to forget about the high gas prices!!! Rofl I'd hate to see Billy E's gas bill for a month of fishin'!! :yikes
I feel your Pain Rough Neck and I live right by one of the best crappie lakes in the state, but i like to travel and fish new waters. I qualified for the Crappie Masters Classic last year in Alabama. My biggest reason for not going was Gas Prices. One good thing about gas prices is it forces you to find a fishing buddy and share your time on the water with someone who will help you with the expense if your going to travel. When I fish with someone and they drive and use thier boat I always help out with the Gas. One way to get on my bad side is not offer to help pay for gas if im traveling in my truck and using my boat and you dont even offer to pay a darn dime. Those guys dont get invited to fish with me agian.

I raise fruits and veggies and irrigate with a 2" gas pump, i use 1 gal. a day during dry weather which is usually a least 4 to 5 months a year. We forget about rice and bean farmers who often use over a 1000 gal of fuel a month and ranchers who consume large amount of desiel to cut hay. Food prices are already high and will get higher. I'm just glad me and my family don't ski, a ski boat with a V-8 can burn 40 to 100 gal of fuel a day. I will keep fishing, but maybe not quite as much and not so far away.
Like my buddy said this morning when he told me he had a choice between Greeson and Millwood (Little River). He said that Greeson is just like a Degray, Hamelton, Ouachita, ect. and you've been fishing them deep lakes with no luck and I know you know how to crappie fish so what would be any different me going to Greeson? He said I've yet to go down to Millwood and not catch a good mess of whites and usually end up with anywhere from a dozen to even 15 or 20 good crappie....I'd rather go where I know I can get into something down there than to spend all day on Greeson and end up like you've been skunked last several trips. I don't know anybody personally on this board so I can't speak for credibility of anybody here but to hear some talk all these lakes have good numbers of crappie? I've crappie fished all my life and growing up on lakes with limited numbers of crappie I know they ain't everywhere that's for sure. Then on top of that these oil companies kill the economy every year and our so called for the people government does nothing to stop the bleeding. I don't have much of a job but at least I do have one and mine allows me to have lots of time off to hunt and fish which I can't complain about but as most of you feel gas money is tight and endless trips to unknown water with no results won't work for me. Good luck to you all out there on the water this Spring, I've got 2 bags of fish laid out to cook this evening myself.
