I'm with you Gerry. If it were about putting food on the table, there would be no possibility to justify the expense of my boat, much less a rod & reel setup that can easily go north of $500 without even going custom.

I just like to fish. I prefer fishing on my own boat, having the ability to decide where to go and how long to stay there. It's not so much about the catching, as it is enjoying the company of my friends and just relaxing a bit.

I fish my boat, other people's boats, charters, party boats....whatever gets me on the water. Someday, having my own boat will probably be to much, but until then, I'll keep it floating.
