Lucky Angler Mackerel4.jpgThe economics of a day on the water,

 

Many fisherman or lets say Angler’s have never really put together what a day of fishing actually costs. I have taken  the time to calculate a day on the water with our boat. Mind you we have a SeaRay 240 with a small block so we may be a little more expensive then others. Lets start with bullet points.

  • Gas full tank 70 gallons at $3.44 a gallon = $240.80 OUCH !!
  • 5 lbs squid = $7.00
  •  Ballyhoo = $9.00
  •  Sardines =$8.00
  • Food, Lunch and dinner with snacks for 2 to 3 people =$ 40.00
  • Beer for 2 to 3 people =$24.00
  • More Beer = $24.00
  • Ice = $15.00
  • Bottle of Captain Morgan incase beer runs out $23.99

 

Taking into account we don’t have to pay to park since we already have the slip and also knowing we will not be burning a whole tank of gas in a day we will split the gas costs in half. We will generally burn a tank in a two day period trolling.

Also this figure of $220.40 is having the boat fully stocked with sun screen and toiletries, charged batteries for the DVD player and other fans that we don’t want to use the boats energy for.

The fishing trip that is $220.40 a day now gets even less do to the fact your buddy who you bring along generally pitches in at least $50.00 to $60.00 so now the day is just a tad bit less at a little over $158.00.
