Got fed up when they asked my yearly earnings???

I suppose that, when they're surveying the economic impact, the potential economic impact would come into play. i.e. how much you could spend on angling, if you thought it was worth it.

 

It would also tell them what percentage of your income you currently spend on your sport.

Got boring towards the end but filled in several pages.

probably their calculating how many % over inflation they can hike the licence up

[snotty]

It all got a bit much on the third time around, different species... different region etc... so I gave up.

Maybe the survey is really to find out how tenacious anglers are, and whether we soldier on to the bitter end or quit half way through like me!

Its about where we fish, what we fish for, what we spend and what we spend it on. If you reach a point in the survey where you have nothing more to add, then just close the window and its all over. If you don't give these people some basic statistics about our fishing lifestyles, then we'll have no real expectation of them spending future budgets on things (and places) that matter most. I've been a critic of the EA in the past, as have others. If we dont give them at least basic facts to work with, then future spending is all supposition and guesswork. Fill in the survey, at least as far as you can, it makes sense.

It does go on a bit! .......... and gets a bit repetitive.

 

Does anyone really keep track of what they spend?
