$1000 to spend on fishing.

[Shrimpo]

I wish, But if you were given $1000 to spend on fishing what would you buy?

[jeff f]

a good sounder

[noname]

i reck i got enough fishin gear these days, so i would spend it on fuel hook up the tinnie and go as far up the coast as i could, trying places as i go,, it's an adventure :woohoo:

[Shrimpo]

Funnily enough i was thinking the same thing a good Sounder+Gps combo.

An average sounder

[Shrimpo]

Good enough for what id be doing

[ando_04]

I face this problem every week, jsut donno what to spend it on

[LIVE_2_FiSH]

haha ando

[Feral]

DO it quickly, or the poor dollar is going to cause most fishing gear to go up by about 30 - 40% shortly (as most fishing gear is imported)

[bootyinblue]

58.997kg of snapper fillets. That way I am assured a good feed!

[mangler]

Hmmmm, $1000 bucks on fishing gear

That could get me:

About 200 old Alveys from garage sales to add to my collection :woohoo:

or

About 60 good lures to help me chase Murray Cod this summer

or

Maybe enough fuel to get me to my favourite cod holes (which are only 4hrs away) :laugh:

or

A couple of Jackalls :ohmy:

[Feral]

Sounds like you have a cheap source for Jackalls, gunna share?

[Angus]

Id spend the cash on a trip to one of various dream or favourite locations. Have the gear to use already when I get there

I'd try to pick up a cheap 2nd hand seadoo motor and build /fit it into the 3.7m tinnie. Not real sure about the fuel consumption but it would be able to get virtually anywhere any time.

[kriso]

there was one setup on ebay ages ago would be good fishing the shallows

[kreel]

I'd join with everyone else on AFO with their $1000 and buy a small island somewhere that we could all visit and fish from. That or we could all buy one of Angus' little run-abouts as the new AFO fishin barge (remember Angus it has to be in red).

[paul10]

Right now I would offer $1000 for fishyman's Yak because he sounds desperate.:laugh:

[Smiderman]

How about we pool all our $1K's and buy norfolk island or thursday island or something arouind the kimberleys?

[TUR82]

I'd get a Daiwa Exist
