A nice boat ride is some kind of fun , of course I chatted with a part time guide the other day who is slowly giving up guiding due to all the hidden costs on a nice boat ride . The math I came up with years ago was about $50 per trip on a VERY small "paid for "boat with a trailer and motor . There are so many hidden costs that people don't realize involved in boating its mind boggling . His math on his large vessel was WAY higher on a one trip cost and it was so much more that it was barely offsetting the fees he was charging to guide .
One thing for sure though , a boat ride will often put you right on top of the fish with lots less leg work , that much I know factually .
Congrats and KABOOM
