With the sports show over and with musky fishing started for some and will be starting for others, how much $$$$ did you spend this past winter getting ready for this season?

At least $300 if you count the onboard charger. And I'm not catching sh!t. It could be that I've only been fishing once, but I'm sure it's because I didn't spend enough.

At least 400 bucks. Lots and lots and lots and lots of new baits.

About $200 total. All it took was a new Garcia reel, Don Hunt Colin rod and a couple spools of PowerPro. Oh, and a new file. And a couple new baits, you know, Earnies, some titanium bucktails, this cool giant jig and 8 extra tails, a new 6" jake, a pink Mepps bucktail....

Um, make that $300.

Floater-

No, No, No. You never, ever say that. Even with the off chance that you someday might actually think that you have enough stuff. You just say "I'm OK, for now."

Muskie fishing equipment is just like guns. You can never have enough.

And, I'm probably into the 400-500 range if you count the rod (for my new reel) I'm getting in Iowa. Another 300-400 for the motor rebuild too. Lets' call it an even grand.

Wow, I thought I did good this year, didn't go to any shows and tried to behave myself cuz I bought a new boat last July. The question made me think though and after adding up all the "little boat projects", baits, net bags, etc, I'm over $300. No wonder my wife gets upset if I thought that was doing good.
