How much do you typically spend to kayak fish for a day? - Page 2 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

StinkyMatt · 03-28-2013, 08:21 AM

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 don't know what it cost me, but it saves me frm sitting in front of the T.V getting fat, having a heart attack, and being bored and angry because there is no excitement in life.

After reading the posts above I think I'll have to get another job so I can kayak fish more. I didn't realize all the costs involved.

Gas to the Bu and back - $15

Fresh halibut - priceless (fresh is $12.99/lb at the store)

Any tackle, I bought over 2 years ago. I have a ton. $0
