I am going to run 90 miles Sat. 45 up and back. My boat has about a 100 mile range on 36 gallons. I can't get 93 octane on the river unless a friend meets me with a gas tote.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Just smile and walk away.
On LOZ I ran 85 miles To almost Truman Dam . 20 min. fishing I took 2nd and my draw partner took 1st . Great run going but return trip was nasty rough because of all the rec. boaters .

I used to run 9 miles in the am in Airborne School a LONG time ago. Running is not my thing. So now I drive my boat....
92 miles one way on the Ohio River, I got a leg cramp from holding down the hot foot.
What we cannot obtain from intelligence, we can learn from experience.
60 mile round trip. Didn't pay off. Of course nowadays running only a few miles doesn't pay off even if you win with gas prices like they are.
80-90 miles one way for me, but there are guys that make a 200 mile, one way trip for big tourneys down here. The atchafalaya basin to venice is an insane run, but guys have done it and caught 20+# in 1.5 hrs of fishing time.
ABout 58 on the St. Lawrence River duritn our 6-man event, Ogdensburg to Cape Vincent. Lucky for us we were in the 4th or 5th flight so we had about 2 extra hours.

Me personally, 30 miles one way. Was talking to a couple guys in a gambler on Lake Seminole that were fishing a tourny out of Lake Eufaula. I think that's in the neighborhood of ~80 miles.
I had the runs all the way home from Arizona to Ct. About 2000 miles.
I used to run from the south end of Okeechobee to the north end and vice versa all the time thats about 40-60 mile one way...dunno if I would do it today with the cost of gas
