RUDD 99 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 How much do you spend? I have never really thought about this in any depth until this year what with the squeeze and all but I have just done a wreckie on my fishing cost for the year and have to say wow HOW MUCH!!! Bottom end gear weights hook swivels trace etc £150 Line four time 300yards of Braid £120 New Rods two £350 both on special Flotation suite £85 on special Reel service £65 Total on Gear £770 Then there are the trips and I have been on quite a few this year so lets call it £1000 which is close and then there is the fuel and bait ball park figure £300 So total spend £2070 Fun had priceless So is this, a lot, a little, or avrage How much have you spent? Why dont you service your reels yourself? Being a shore angler I give my Mag elite 6500 a complete strip down every month. I just followed the scematics that came in the box. I also service all my other reels, multipliers, fixed spool and even my centerpin. Back to the question So far Sea fishing this year has cost me: Fuel - about 1.50 petrol in tilley and diesel in car for three mile drive. Pack of Frozen blacks - 4.00 Lost a set of tackle - about 1.60 to replace Time - priceless but time well spent (Even though I blanked) Total 7.10 For an average sea fishing year on bait, sundries and fuel I probably spend 100-150 pounds but I do live near Felixstowe so travel costs are minimal and I collect a fair bit of bait myself. I look after all of my gear to keep cost down but over the last two years have invested in new kit after deciding to do alot more sea fishing: New Ian golds shelter cost me 50.00 - was used by a mate once New holdal cost me a tenner - worth 25.00 used to store shelter in!!! Two new Daiwa supercasts cost me 100.00 - worth 300.00 (from a supermarket type shop that had priced wrong - cash paid) Mag elite cost me 90.00 after alot of haggling Penn surfmaster cost me 50.00 (I would not buy another as they are junk) New tripod cost me 45.00 - 7foot ian golds match Filleting knife (old one lost on beach) 20.00 New globe for tilley 10.00 Ian golds match rucksack 35.00 (complete with free golds filleting board and a measuring stick (about a tenners worth in total)) Latest SAS flotation suit 100.00 New head torch 20.00 I also spent about 200 quid on end tackle and at least 150 quid on bait over two years Fuel probably cost me about 80 quid In all about 800 quid divided over two years is 400.00 It soon adds up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This year I dont need anything new but would like a MAG525 for some rough ground work which for a new one will cost 150.00 on top of my average 150.00 spent on essentials RUDD Different floats for different folks!

I've had a cheap year but only because, 1, I've been blown off most trips. 2, The beaches have been almost unfishable or not worth fishing. 3, That will change this year as I now have more free time and can do short notice trips and I'm also looking at some warm water forays.

benacre 0 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Well I make my own weights dig my own worms and re sharpen my hooks but I expect I spend a good deal. I always tell the FPO its better than widdling it up the wall or smoking it away. I'm lucky to go fishing everyday (when the FPO allows me) East Anglian Fishing Forum http://www.easternanglers.co.uk/ Link to post Share on other sites
