Ages ago I decided to calculate my annual spend on carp fishing. I took into account tickets (of which I had a few back then), bait, tackle, petrol, France trip etc etc....

I had to stop counting the figure got so high. It was eye watering. I decided I didn't want to know!

100%😅

Yeah best to not venture down that rabbit hole 🐰🕳️😂

Capitalism would have taken it in other ways. Like now if you want to get popcorn at the cinema it will cost you nearly £100 for a family movie. At least you can still look at your fishing stuff even if you don't have time to go.

Don’t forget the carp anglers prayer… 

 

“dear lord, when I die, please don’t let the wife sell my carp gear for the price i told her I paid for it”

Even if we did save the cash and became millionaires, what would the first thing we would buy?? 
 

a carp lake… you know it makes sense!

I know one venue that's up for sale for less than £300,000

I saw that, and here’s me buying a family home for the family like a chump. Could have brought that lake and a caravan…
