How much do you typically spend to kayak fish for a day?
Just wondering how much you guys spend for a day of kayak fishing.
Im figuering about $40 for bait at the barge and parking at the boat ramp plus any food n drinks. Sound about right?

$Free.99
I don't know where you're fishing but if you're fishing a bay, at least in SD and Mission Bay, you can park and launch for free and make bait. If you want to buy bait, a scoop is something like $10 |

I live close to south sd bay so 1/2 gallon of gas or less, no bait or catch my own, $1.50 costco hotdog on the way home. Super low budget. LJ gets more expensive gas wise but the other outlays stay the same. My baja trips are mostly the cost of fuel, then food, and $5-10 or free a night to camp. Mike

Typical trip to the sewer....Lets see...20-25 bucks for gas, 10 for parking, 5 for coffee and soda/monsters, 15 for bait, 20 for busybee sandwiches....70-75 bucks give or take...wow
Thats not including tackle...its definitely not cheap... But 100% worth it!....sometimes...

Also hope gas goes down. It cost to much for me to go to La Jolla lately, 202 miles round trip at 13mpg is a lot not even counting food and ect. Been staying around OC to LA lately, a lot closer about a $40 in gas difference.

If bait is desired for fishing $10 most of the time I catch my own, or use plastics. No parking fees in San Diego locations. Maybe food after, I'm guessing at the most $20 but not usually. Being invited out on a buddies boat costs me $40 or more easily. Then I have to fish where they want to fish. Not always fun.

Gas to DP = 25
Bait = 10 The way I figure it is I would be spending the money for gas to go fishing no matter what I was in, so in my figuring I don't count that, much. I bring my own coffee, water and snacks. Plus the usual tackle losses over time, but again, that would be there anyway.

The OLD days:
Car wash $15 Flowers $20 Movie $20 Dinner $80 Maybe get lucky at the end of a date $ 0 TODAY Fishing $30 to $40 bucks a day. The way I figure it out, fishing is SAVING me about about $ 100 a week. At this rate I will save enough in a couple of weeks to buy a new reel. Ohhhh, one more thing. I probably get "LUCKY" fishing more often than I did before fishing. |

i usually end up paying at least 20.00 or so between bait, hooks, sinkers and maybe a few new jigs. new jigs and tackle is what really kills me. that stuff adds up quick, VERY quick

Live close to the launch, so roundtrip in diesel is maybe $2.
Coffee at home. Water bottle filled at home. I buy frozen squid at Ranch 99. Last buy was 5 lbs. for $7.29 I'm no marathon angler, so I'm off the water in time to have lunch at home. My biggest cost would be losing an iron...$10. Flouro and hooks over time. Maybe those scopolamine patches so I don't puke in my lap. Those patches retail for close to $15 each. I get them for about $8. My brother is a school teacher with a great prescription plan...gets them for $1. Thanks bro!
