Nothin for gas, I can walk 20 seconds and be at the waters edge. I tend to spend a little bit of cake on plugs to make up for it though.

I have no idea, and if I think about it I will be selling the boat in short order!!
If I fish Vineyard Sound, which I do 90% of th time, I spend this year about $60 gas, and another $15 in the truck, thats $75 before I even get started!!
X 3 times a week= $225 X 8 weeks= $1800 gas alone for this season!! @ $3.00 a gal.
Now add all the tackle, bait, 2 stroke oil, ect ect...... It only spells one thing if my wife finds out "Divorce"

cost of fishing?
1)Boat 30,000/ 10= $3,000/ year
2) rods and reels 3700/5= $740/ year
3) Fuel 1300galx3.25= $4225
4) marina fees $3200
5) tackle ? $500
6) food and drink $500
7)bait $1200
8)missed work ????
Total cost= who cares, my wife can't add that high, and my kids like state colleges!!!

To cut cost this season, I'll just start Long Lineing. So if you see my soda bottles out there, please leave them alone.

I prefer to ask myself....what is this season worth as opposed to its cost! High fuel costs or no I am going to be fishing as much as last season if not more! There is no way in Hell I am letting the cost of a gallon of gas short change my fishing season! Its what I do....its what I love and I am going to fish my a$$ off! 
Gonna have to guess that this season will run me....over $5,000.00! Oh.....also the new sandsled so there is $22,000.00 more. 3 new rods, new waders, monthly trips to Cutty for 2 nights a whack from June through October, driving back and forth from the Cape once a week from June to October, Race sticker.......oh who cares....its only money and it will do me no good after I am dead!

hmmmm this got me thinking... lets see.. California, Cutty, Block, Cape...Hotel, and rental fees.. Ferry tickets...rods.. reels.. eels... food... h20....cigs... monster energy drinks... and local fishing 5-6 nights a week.. at least 120+miles or so round trip lets say gas at 2$ a gallon...Conservative estimate.. If I was married.. I'd be divorced |
Domination takes full concentration..

Vic...don't get married! You save all the money you would spend on a Wedding and Honeymoon and then you save all the money you would have spent on a huge, costly and drawnout divorce.....so you will be way ahead of the game......when you think about it like that!  |

not too much since i already have almost all the gear i'll ever need 'cept a new rod or two, another vs, couple of miles of pp, trips to cutty, bi, and m, and lots of gas. my boat won't see water this year unless it's raining on it.

Started fishing around 1949 and have never even thought of adding up the cost of a season. That's a scary thought even. Had I done so, I'd probably be playing golf by now.

Hmmm, let's see.
Used bike, $50 at a yard sale.
Bike basket, $40 at Benny's.
Got plenty of lead already. Maybe I'll spend another 50 clams on rubber.
Got plenty of plugs.
Got a basement full of rods and reels, plus about 6 bulk spools of various kinds of line.
Snaps, swivels, replacement hooks, leader material---got plenty of all of that.
Load the bike onto the truck, 25 cents worth of gas to get to the Run, and most of that from starting her up..
Looks like I can swing this summer's gas prices  |
