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.

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............

[Mr. T.]

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.

[matcole]

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

[Woolly Bugger]

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

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