Also, major waste of money. A grand for a day of ice fishing. But I’m guessing you’re someone who wastes money on scratch tickets and cigarettes anyway.

Post by: TRIPLE S on Feb 26, 2018, 09:19 PM: No I don't smoke or by scratch tickets Fishing is never a waist of money that why I get up every day and go to work. But to me golf is a waist of time and money. So with no ice to fish on lets go to Bass Pro and drop some money. All ways need the latest and greatest fishing stuff!!!!

Post by: teamtip-up on Feb 27, 2018, 03:05 AM: 2 days of fishing with one overnight in Maine last week

$100 - gas n tolls
$100 eats
$100 - bait
$100 - hotel
$40 tackle ( flouro ,hooks ,steel weights )
We finished with a nice sit down meal to reward and relax. We needed to let Boston traffic settle anyway.
$100 a day per person is a cheap vacation. If this old goat could handle 3 full days straight , we would stay up for an additional day.

Post by: fishermantim on Feb 28, 2018, 07:24 PM: If you didn't care about the money, you wouldn't have mentioned it.

Was it a "planned" trip or a last minute idea?
Sounds like it might have been last minute.
