Survey: Gas prices keeping anglers off water
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Angler reluctance to burn gas on the lake is rising as quickly as the prices at the pump, according to a survey last month.
AnglerSurvey.com, which conducts monthly surveys to track consumer activities and expenditure trends, concluded that the impact of fuel prices among anglers has risen dramatically since last summer.
In the most recent survey, 22 percent of anglers participating said that fuel prices had no impact on their fishing plans. Last summer, 35 percent responded with a “no effect” answer to the question.
On the flipside, 32 percent of the respondents said gas prices would affect their fishing plans, up from 22 percent last summer.
What’s your take?
