Bluegoose 0 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I posted this in another topic but thought it needed it own TopicHere is an example of what it would have cost me to go out from StKilda last weekFuel from home and return $4.00Boat Ramp Fees $6.50Bait at Tackle shop prices, Cockles 1 @ $15kg ($15.00), Carp 3 @ $5.50 ($16.50),Boat Fuel @ 75c KM (15km @ 75c) $11.25Total $53.25Boat Costs $20.00 ($20pw for Reg, Ins & Maint)TOTAL $73.25Now i bagged out on Crabs8kg @ $25.00 (Fish Factory Prices)Total $200.00TOTAL $126.75 (Profit)NOTE. This is just an example if i hadn't prepared and bought bait at tackle shop prices. Luckily i had purchased cockles a lot cheaper and had brought home carp from the river. So i saved a bit thereSHIT I JUST REALIZED BOATING AND FISHING AINT CHEAP statesquider 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

afishyfish 4 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 and BG's figures are cheap for a ramp as a start and travelling. Imagine doing travelling down from the hills or similar :whistle: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
