im so cheap I sold the 21ft bay boat I had and bought a flatboat so I could go fishing for $30 per trip instead of spending $150 per trip (and I catch more fish now then before lol)
from now on I will start keeping sailcats/gaftops and try to eat them as another source of making groceries when fishing
I never use anything but artificial so I don't spend money on buying bait
I save all the ribs from big fish as well as the back bones of reds and drum after filleting them and make a special bag of fish ribs to eat
when I go crabbing, I keep any crabs at least 3" point to point because they are small but just barely big enough to peel.
I squeeze the meat out of the little legs of boiled crabs.
I have tried crabbing with hardhead catfish because its free bait. (they are not good bait lol)
I never spend more then $25 for a rod or $30 for a reel and I make them last a good 10 years before I replace them.
I never use more the two rods so I don't have to buy more then two rods.
