[font "Courier New"][#000050][size 3]This might be a teensy bit early to be asking, but I'm all revved up! (I knew I should've waited another month before coming active on the boards again!)
I got $100 for Christmas, and decided to dedicate it to gas. It's not much, but better than nothing. So, I am wondering what to do. Should I stick to places I know, or try for some new places? I got more or less totally skunked last year (guided trips don't count...everybody sets things up for me, so I consider any catches to be THEIR fault!).
I was thinking maybe do a couple overnight campings at Willard, so I can do some morning and evening trips close together. The gas to get to Willard is less, so I could go there at least once a week the whole summer. OR, I could take only 3 or 4 trips to places like Utah Lake, Scofield, Fish Lake, and others that are more than 50 miles from home.
Keep in mind that my car gets 28 miles per gallon, and I have $100 to spend... I'd like to get both as much quantity as quality (meaning I actually catch something) of outtings.
I'm perfectly willing to split expenses to ride with somebody, and make moeny last longer that way...besides, fishing is funner with a partner, anyway!
So far, here's where I have good experiences - alone or with somebody else
Willard
East canyon
Newton
Utah Lake (didn't actually fish that one time, but people were catching fish from the bank, so I guess I can to!)
And I'd like to try Scofield at least once, for some Walleye
I've started working, as a freelance writer. I've already gotten 3 projects in the last 2 weeks. Hopefully, if this keeps up, I can pay off my car soon (only $500 to go, after I get paid for my current assignment), and then have even MORE fishing money! YAY!
And since it's freelance, I have an open schedule, so I can go whenever I want...as long as I don't slack off too much and fall behind.[/size][/#000050][/font]
