L-Dog Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 YES!!! I feel that my job is safe but I am saving the money from the fishing account because you never know. "Sleep when you are dead" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_G Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 It's probably going to. If for no other reason, just the uncertainty and weakness our our economy in general has me nervous. Nervous enough to make me think twice, even three times before I spend $$$. I'm used to bombing all around, spending a ton on gas. I think overall, '09 will find me being a bit more cautious on what and how I spend my money, and what I do. The Sultan of Sluggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco34520 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Not really. Im going to be cautious but there is stuff i need to buy for this season. Stan Gibbs Cape Cod Canal ClassicDitch Trol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditch Jigger Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I could easily burn a gallon of gas a night jumping around the Canal. I think this year, it'll be more, drive to the closest access on whatever side I want to fish, and bike it from there. I also know I'll be eating more fish this year, and probably not taking the summer off from shellfishing.

north-shore fisha Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Fortunately I'm pretty sure my job is safe. They'd pretty much have to close down my school for me to lose my job. But I've always fished on the cheap. This year I plan on using more artificials and spend less on bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddMan Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I thought my job was safe too! I was planning on a new rod and reel, and that is on hold for now! <*)))><Stan Gibbs Cape Cod Canal Fishermans Classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditch Jigger Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 If you work for anyone but yourself--your job isn't safe. Even if you work for the Commonwealth--maybe especially if you work for the Commonwealth.

PI Guy Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Not yet, we had layoffs at work last week, I'm the last one in my dept'. Funny thing is, I keep praying we at least make it to May so I can fish the whole season without having to work. Haven't had that luxury since high school. mare liberum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
