I still have my expense report from the trip:
Motel: $75 x 5 = $375.00
Food: $40.00 x 5 = 200.00
Gas: $ 200.00 (Truck only, to and from Grenada)
Boat gas, snacks, bait, etc.: $200.00
Boat Oil: $40.00
Gift for Wife: $35.00 (Worth a lot more than that!!!:D)
Launch fees: $25.00
If I'm not mistaken, this would add up to be about $1,075.00 and I'm sure the rest was spent on misc.stuff!!!:D:D
It's pretty easy to spend $1,100-1,200 if you go just for 5 days or so. Like I said this didn't count the weekend prefishing trips. And guess what I won? Notta, nuttin, zilch, zero, busted, but guess what? I'll be back at the next one spending probably more than this because I choose to. If I didn't like the game or the rules or thought it was a scam or not enough was being done for the angler, I WOULD NOT BE INVOLVED!
But like you, I have sit down and done the math with what I seem to know to be the true numbers, and I can see where these tourny's are a huge economic impact for a community. As I am sure the Chamber of Commerce's have done in every town where they are held.
