I'd say that there are usually one or two $200-$300 trips a year. Depends on what I need and who has got me into some other type of fishing. Headhunter got me into the planer board fishing for walleye a couple of years ago. Dropped over a $1000 the following fall on planer boards, rods, linecounter reels, leadcore, baits, rod holders etc. etc etc. Last year wasn't too bad when Cliff and Carole got me into carp fishing. This year a new gps, 3 batteries, a trip to bass pro and i'm already over a $1000 and haven't even put gas in the boat. . For a one time purchase it would be when I bought the boat. That purchase, if not made, could have saved me thousands in future purchases. Other then the boat it would be about $700 for a single trip. Thanks for the reminder.
