Dont I know it. I told myself (and the wife) this would just be a few one off costs and i would try to keep it simple!!!! I've already spent more than i ever intended to and i still donat have any real kit!!!, even when you try and do it on a budget it adds up bloody quickly

I reckon a grand will see me sorted

 

I reckon a grand just about covered the price of my yak and fishfinder

don't be so hard on yourself Jonnyboy--I don't think most of us realised what it would really cost-----that's not to mention the broken marriages!

......or the cost of the time spent monitoring this forum gleaning advice and recommendations and getting your fishing fix........and the cost of the therapy to wean you off it.........

 

Kayak fishing should be banned!

 

It is more expensive than you think it is going to be.....the Kayaking element is too much fun, the scenery is too much to take in, the folk you meet doing it are just intolerable, and all that exercise cannot be good for you.... but the worst thing is that I cannot spend as much time doing it (kayak fishing) as I would like.

 

Abandon the idea now my friend and save yourself a lot of grief and expense!

Spent a few pennies in the last few months;

 

kayak and all the bits and still going strong

 

Think I have all I need to go on with now but too scared to add everything up that i have spent. Except I need a VHF and some flares and a warm hat!

 

Just spent the last 3 hours filling my NEW kayak bag full of tackle and also making Kayak traces as my shore ones did not fit the purpose

 

Hopefully all I will need now are regular fishing partners and better weather

 

It has been a great past few months playing with Yak and talking to peeps on here and I just hope I can catch some fish over the winter

 

Cant wait for pike meet too!

Then there is the following:

 

1. Wetsuit and shoes

2. Bannanas to fit inside the wetsuit so you look like a stud not mister blobby

3. Then the winter sets in so buy a Drysuit, and so you want to look like mister blobby thermals

 

Thats the clothing. Now for the kit:

 

4. Cant use normal rods, have to buy new ones.

5. Same with reels, have to buy new ones

 

The List carries on......Give up now or

 

"Abandon hope all who enter their Yak"

Then you lose it!!

 

Just carried out my final replacement following Tope trip flip.

 

More inshore flares £35.

 

Total cost of minor accident over £200.

 

Worth every penny.
