Good evening all

I,m just wondering how much money did you guys spend on fishing and,

related items this year. ie lures, bait , gas etc.......

Also how many km,s did you travel fishing



Now that the season is over for myself i,m sitting here crunching some

numbers. Heres what i came up with



1.Most lakes i travel to are 160 to 200 km range return

I put on a "staggering' 10,000km,s plus.

2. $120 on gulp..........$50 on dew worms

3.$200 on spinner baits

4.$120 on mono

5.$60 on fireline

6.gas .............don,t want to go there

misc........$1ooo plus etc etc

dont show my wife this

New boat $31 000
kicker motor $1600
rods and reels $600
lures $300

travel well I dont need to travel far to fish napanee (BOQ) is prob the farthest I travel from here in Kingston.

Gas and Oil. I dont even want to know!!

Coffee ?????

Then Theres the duck boat. lol

boat $1400
motor $600

Somebody that used to post on here lot's had a great saying. It went something like this.

When I am dead and gone, the only thing that I worry about is that my wife will sell my fishing stuff for what I said I paid for it.

That always made me chuckle.

I never keep a tab on what it costs me to enjoy my favorite hobby.

fishing stuff,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,priceless.

all the rest.pay to mutch.

I go through about 1500L of gas in the boat every year. This season I added a Chronarch Mg 50 on a 6'6" MH St Croix Avid to the arsenal for about $500 and a GPS with Navionics map chip for about $550. Not much on new lures/plastics this year, a few hundred $ tops.

Then I took up fly fishing in July. The current tab is just shy of $3000 and I still need to get the float tube....

JOCO you seem like a real nice guy , but if i brought to paradise lake,

i think BIG BASS 444 would hunt me down............

Oddly enough, I went through all my receipts this past weekend.

I spent a total of $1434.99.

This is my first year of fishing so most of it was on start up costs.

Gas and mileage, I didn't track because most of my fishing was done within city limits.

never got out too much, so i would say about $60 and thats pushing it!

Too Much....

New muskie rod and reel and $25+ dollar baits
2 New fly rods with a sweet reel
Loads of fly tying material and hooks
Magazines, books, DVD
New Float tube, fins, on and on and on....

....when will it all stop....when I am dead and buried

Wooly Bugger

I got lucky this year no major purchases.
Some line and some new spoons, and had one of the best fishing years ever!
