[QUOTE="Allen, post: 345335, member: 389"] Hah, walleye is now more expensive than prime rib! A couple weeks ago I went to New Town to take my 84 yr old stepfather out fishing. $250 in diesel, $100 in gas for the Toon, another $100 in fishing tackle, ice and other supplies (seriously, $4 a spinner at the New Town Marina = ouch), all to catch 25 walleyes. They were pretty nice fish, but still. I didn't weigh the filets, but let's say we got 12.5 lbs of edible walleye that makes the value of the weekend's catch roughly $450/12.5 or $36 a pound. As far as time, it sure seems that even the kids nowadays have something going on. My 16 yr old son has "Captain's Practice" three times a week this summer for Cross Country, Sanford Power (athletic training) four days a week, Krav Maga another two days a week, and he shoots Sporting Clays with me in a league one evening a week. The 14 yr old daughter has the same Sanford Power and Krav Maga but instead of Cross Country she has open gym for Volleyball four days a week. At somewhat seemingly random times. Yep, there's no real break in school or life's activities during the summer around here. [/QUOTE]
