No change out of $1000 after servicing the boat and updating some fishing tackle, then after buying a ramp pass, some bait & fuel to get to ramp, all I have to bring home from the first fishing trip of the season is a few calamari.
Contrast this with the typical hunt, where above and beyond camping gear (which I had already) a fifty year old $200 rifle, some ammo and fuel will net me about $40kg of lean, organic, free range red meat most times.
On a good day no
Depends on there you go.
Some people bring home $300+ worth of fish a day.

Re: Fresh fish prices

Re: Fresh fish prices
Absolutely, its more like 50kg and more often than not I do take home a sambar. What price the meat is worth is hard to say, as sambar venison is something money cannot buy. The last time I saw venison for sale (which would have been red or fallow) it was marked at $30kg, which was about 10 years ago. But using that as a rough guide you're looking at ~ $1500.Kimtown wrote:yeah but there's gonna be more than $300 (7.5kg) worth of meat on on just your average sambar I would have thoughtsmile0784 wrote:On a bad day yesQueasy wrote:Its much easier to justify hunting than fishing on a cost basis in my experience.

Probably still get some Cala land based though.
Bit harder to get a big red.
There is always more to learn , fish to catch , places to see and friends to make.

And it's only going to get worse, with the banning of netting in all the bays and estuaries.Trumpeter wrote:Went to the local mongers to get a fresh Cala and one around 35-40cm hood cost me $26.00, jeez, I miss my boat...
Pay a premium or buy imported sewage fed mush fish.
