Gas prices hitting anglers, boaters harder this summer
A few hours north of Michigan’s Portage Lake, Robert Hinds decided to add a $50 fuel surcharge to the fishing trips he offers as the owner and operator of Central Coast Angling.
He tows his 22-foot boat from port to port on Lake Michigan depending on where the fishing is best, so he has to fill up his truck in addition to his boat. Hinds said he’s had multiple cancellations as customers do their own math on gas prices. One regular customer from Nebraska didn’t make the trip this spring.

Gretchen Steele: The best of both sides of the river at Missouri’s Montauk State Park
The first thing I noticed at Montauk State Park was the water. Cold, impossibly clear, and flowing straight from the spring that gives birth to the famed Current River, it is the kind of water that stops you in your tracks.
Trout hovered in the current while visitors lined the banks, hoping to hook the fish that’s made Montauk a destination for generations of anglers.
