Has anyone ever considered the cost that our favourite sport can incur?
During this period of the year I tend to reflect on my own fishing over the years, and I am constantly amazed at the cost in monetary terms. Travelling from one end of the country to the other results in massive fuel costs, bait, specialised tackle etc. In my own particular case I'm sure this identifies me as a fanatic, but for this I make no apology. Would I do it all again you may ask, in a heartbeat would be my answer.
But in all fairness I should add I was very fortunate in that I ran my own company for a number of years, so I had the benefit of being able to follow my passion. I am mindful that not everyone can, or would choose to do so. Nonetheless the circumstances remain the same to everyone by degree's.
How do you fit in?
