I would like to give my thoughts on the current gas situation and the problems it is giving me. With construction and home building down my pay has gone
down by well over $10,000 dollars.This has made it very difficult for me to fish any great distances from home. Gas at 4.00 dollars a gallon has made it
almost impossible. My family and paying my bills will always be my first concern. I love KBF and will always do my best to support it, but this year its seems
that KBF has made it difficult for me to fish any of the qualifiers. If my math is right not one of the qualifiers is less than 150 mile from my house. This
makes it impossible for me to fish any of them as it is too far and too expensive to go that great of a distence. To top it off, if the wildcard tournament is
in my back yard I would not be allowed to fish it unless I fish another. I don't have any solutions, but I do feel that this needs to be thought about,
because I am sure I am not the only one in this situation. I hope when we set future schedules this will be taken in concideration. I still support KBF and
hope the organization grows. I hope all you are well and having a great year and look forward to fishing with you soon. This is just my thoughts and I hope I
don't make anyone mad, but I do think we need to make KBF available To The Entire State.
