muskielaw Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Is it just me or is this site really really expensive to follow. I just stumbled upon this site before ice fishing this past season and am afraid to admit the money I have spent on ice fishing and now summer fishing as a result of reading all the posts on here. But I can tell you based upon the information I have learned on here I have bought a new ice house, new sonar, arctic armour, my first boat, a new graph for the boat, and those are the big ticket items not to mention all the new rods, reels and lures. (Lucky to be single too I guess ) I have always been an avid fisherman but something about this site gets me even more excited about fishing and wanting more and more equipment. My enjoyment of the sport has grown (if that was even possible) and I seem to catch a few more fish as well. I guess this is my way of saying thank you all for the great information that is shared on here and d a m n you all at the same time And I think the economy may owe this site a thank you as well. Good luck to all this weekend and be safe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ameyers41 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Agree with you completely. Between the money I've spent on new gear/toys and the amount of time I've "wasted" online, it's really unbelievable. The sad thing is, I'm not only like this with fishing, but golf too. Another expensive hobby when you're buying new clubs all the time. They're like fishing rods; the ones you have get the job done, but a new one will obviously catch more fish/lower your golf score, right? ha ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode2235 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 It is the most fun marketing vehicle on the internet. I love learning about new techniques and equipment from the best fisherman. It is a great community that really helps you become a better fisherman. But yes, it is very tempting to try and keep up with the Jones' around here.

itchmesir Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I've had drug habits that were cheaper than my fishing habit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bottle Fish Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 It certainly has cut into MY allowance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojoputter Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I think Obama's people have infiltrated this site in order to stimulate the economy. Sinced he's been elected, I have spent $300 on fishing stuff I really didn't need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more of a desperate desire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBPackerNut Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 Yeah, I have to agree, normally my annual fishing budget is around ohh $1000 or so (yeah Im cheap) but this year I have spent over $11,000 before opener! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
