$525 Slip fee
$75.00 Cleaning
$751.75 For 155 gal of fuel @$4.85
$35.00 Fuel to get to the boat -Rancho Cucamonga to HB

$10.00 Tackle - pretty standard
$25 Meals and Beer

= $1421.75 Per month OR

approx. $355.00 Per trip if fishing 1x per week

Damn, I miss my Kayak! If anyone is fishing off Cabrillo Beach tomorrow, look for the boat Barely-A-Wake. I'll have a couple cold ones on board and/or Capt. Morgan/Coke if you prefer.

Gas to DP = 25
Bait = 10

The way I figure it is I would be spending the money for gas to go fishing no matter what I was in, so in my figuring I don't count that, much.

I bring my own coffee, water and snacks. Plus the usual tackle losses over time, but again, that would be there anyway.

The OLD days:

Car wash $15

Flowers $20

Movie $20

Dinner $80

Maybe get lucky at the end of a date $ 0

TODAY

Fishing $30 to $40 bucks a day.

The way I figure it out, fishing is SAVING me about about $ 100 a week.

At this rate I will save enough in a couple of weeks to buy a new reel.

Ohhhh, one more thing. I probably get "LUCKY" fishing more often than I did before fishing.
