Just realized how much gear I've hoarded over the years - from simple crappie rigs to serious offshore setups for amberjack. Started cheap at local lakes but man, once you go offshore the costs add up FAST. Boat payments, fuel, insurance, plus thousands in tackle... it's crazy expensive but so worth it. My biggest tip for newcomers? Get any kind of boat if you can swing it. Being stuck on crowded shorelines sucks compared to having the freedom to move spots. What's been your biggest fishing expense? Anyone else have a tackle addiction? 😅 #fishing #fishinglife #boatfishing #Anglers
