90 miles or so to Hudson and 4.5 to 5 hours with few fish, way out at 20 knots 160 miles is 8 hours each way? Lots of fish ?
If the fish are there ? Why not. I would give up fishing time to go where the fish are. Last edited by BCinerie; 10-03-2017 at 12:26 PM.. Reason: Edit |

I would say it
Is a cost of doing business. 90 foot super cruiser! 1st the grounds wherever the grounds maybe. If the fish are not there gotta go to the fish. ! Some bluefish boats used to run up to 25/30 miles.or they fish 1/4 mile off the beach. Take good with the bad |

Water in Hudson not looking great at the moment although it seems some slightly warmer stuff could be trickling in from the east. I guess we'll see what happens as the week progresses. There's always deep drop if conditions become more favorable!

who is paying for the fuel is an interesting question. when fuel went up 4 years or so ago, then came back down (some) none of the boats lowered their costs- whether or not a 6 pack or party boat, everyone back then blamed the high price increases on fuel. well, fuel is lower. shouldn't the prices have lowered somewhat?
also, if people stop catching fish on a regular basis they wont go at all. so, it's a brutal death spiral - give customers the option for higher fares to travel where the fish are and see how it goes. i know fuel is more at the docks, but the following chart from the US Govt backs up my points https://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_gnd_dcus_nus_a.htm |
