Not counting fishing tackle, which is definitely expensive.
Diesel to where I'm fishing.
Road Tolls.
Food.
Camping Fees where applicable.
Pair of servo sunnies every second trip cos I'm freaking hope less.
Yearly pass to NSW national parks (not applicable in VIC).
Pair of rock boots every 12 months or so.
Sunscreen and Bushmans.
Camping gear (which is a fixed cost, probs 4-500 in total, need to invest in a shelter of some kind though)
If you want to count fishing gear I probably have about 4-5k in rods reels, lines, gaffs, live bait tanks, pumps etc.
I might have forgotten something but I think that's about it.
An average trip to the Peninsula or The Bass Coast probably costs me $50-60 bucks. Half that if Cam or Carl or Adtrac are with me. A week at Greencape in NSW is approx $150 each way, $32 a night camp fees, plus food etc. JB is a bit further away.
Last year I spent 23 days including 8 nights of airbnb fishing the NSW coast from JB to Port Stephens to Hat Head, and inclusive of diesel and airbnb I think i spent $2300 or so, not counting rods reels lines etc but counting lures and terminals i bought on the way.
The vast, vast majority of the fishing I do is really not that expensive. Every once in a while an idea comes up that we might have to put a bit of money and effort into, and the adventure and sense of fulfillment from something like roping down to a ledge greatly outweighs the however much it cost me.
I have absolutely zero interest in fishing on a charter shoulder to shoulder with 9 other people. It doesn't matter how good the fishing is. As I've described in the "Rock Life" thread this about so much more to me than just catching fish I don't even care if I walk away empty handed.
