I feel better knowing that others are spending $2000 on fuel. The seasonal campsite was $1000 plus moorage. Another expense not mentioned was fish ice each weekend (around $150).
What did you spend on Fishing this year?

A year before or later...
The previous year $14,000 for a new outboard.
Next year probably $100,000+ for a new boat.

Wow my total came to $6200 est.! On average I would estimate I spend about $4-6 grand a year after it's all told. This really starts to add up when you list it all out. Us sportsfishers spend a lot of dough in the local economy.
We need to have a more widespread, statiscally accurate survey and analysis done to show the real impact we have on the economy. I think it is very underrated/stated IMO. With this data we could get more local business support for our cause.

So Xavier do you have any plans to do something with all this info you are gathering here?

Investment Remember!!! INVESTMENT!!!
I invested about $1,500.00. The return, if you can appreciate real value, is an easy $500,000.00, based upon my happiness and satisfaction, as well as memories which I will cherish for years to come. Bragging rights are worth the other $500,000.00 in my estimation.
There, see how cheap this sport really is!

Not as much as last year, but more than I should have
. I would estimate around the $3,000 mark. Eating some expensive fish right now as a matter of fact, but damned it tastes gooood! It is definitely not the cost that is important, it is the enjoyment that matters to me. When I am out on the boat, the rest of the world doesn't exist, all of life's woes and worries, commitments, hindrances, bothers, etc,,, are completely gone, until you turn the phone back on or you get back to civilization.
WCVI is truly paradise, we are lucky to have this as our playground. So far I can't put a price tag on the enjoyment that I get from being out there.
To get to spend quality time with my father (and mom too - she also loves to get out on the boat) and my two boys, is absolutely and completely priceless.
