As we say here in the South:I catch my seafood at Longhorn restaurant.
Bless your heart....

The ones you catch yourself are the most expensive.Looked at the price of fish today.------Looks like I will need to put a boat in the water next season to get some food.
But they taste the best and are a lot more fun than shopping at the store!The ones you catch yourself are the most expensive.
I dunno , 6kg of blue cod fillets retails for 420 bucks and I burn 6L ($18) of fuel to get it . Boat et all cost me 6k,and if you allow say $500 for rods, fishfinder etc I only have to have 13 such trips and I am on top , TBH I probly have only just got there as some trips we got only 1 or 2 kg .The ones you catch yourself are the most expensive.
I can't go out on the beach for the morning without dropping $40 (ice, bait and beverage) at the local B&T on the way out......lolMight be using a sailboat belonging to somebody else.----Take it out any time I want.----I have the fishing gear.----Few pennies on diesel to get out on the lake.
Your fish prices are crazy.I dunno , 6kg of blue cod fillets retails for 420 bucks and I burn 6L ($18) of fuel to get it .

Im sure the outcome is dependant on the effort put in .......and fishing at the supermarket is easier but their idea of fresh is 5-6 days and the 1st day doesnt see much refrigeration .![]()
Yeah , ok , blue cod is 70 bucks a kg but that premium fish here . You can get other fresh fish for a bit over half that .Your fish prices are crazy.
Striped Bass fillets at the local fish market are ~$20 per kg.
Possession is one fish per person per day.
Figure 5-6 Kg. of fillets per day- $100 - $120
Expenses (fuel, beverage and ice) for a day of inshore trolling runs me roughly $200 plus misc. tackle and hardware expenses.
I'm $80 in the hole if everything goes well......lol
