I hope this summer I can do it again, and this time I'll experiment with a bunch of butter lol.

Wedding rings tipped with shoepeg corn is pure gold. Add garlic to some corn for trout and days the fishing is slow. On your graph you won't see Kokes, look for the plankton. It'll be solid grey/green on your graph from the surface down to 25feet. Good luck!

[@terryrhuebottom]

Love this. Realistically for cost analysis, you need to take into account all of your equipment and licensing. The good thing is as long as you aren't spending a ton on gear every fish you catch brings that cost down more and more. But realistically even though I grow a lot of my own Veg, Fish, and Hunt. I'd say all in all if I'm lucky breaking even on the cost of food. Granted though I know my food isn't as laden with crap as most mass-produced proteins and veg so it's a food quality issue as well.

[@imadetheuniverse4fun]

Depends on what most of your meals look like. If you want to eat fish? Yeah, fishing them yourself can absolutely cut the cost down provided you can catch enough to make the overhead worth it. If you eat mostly rice, beans, lentils, frozen veggies? There's no way you're beating store prices by fishing or hunting or anything else really.

If I run out I can go get a fish or two for my meat protein. Not a big supporter of farmed animals. Buddy of mine raises a few pigs and cattle a year for harvest and I will get my ground beef from him and pork if I want. Even though the Canadian economy is pretty much in the tank I don't support large farms that pump the livestock with antibiotics and hormones. Keeps myself healthier and my family. Only allowed one tag a year for deer and ill get an elk tag every few years or so and disperse the 900+ lbs of elk meat with friends and family so none of it goes to waste

But the first and second didn't/don't... only the third? where is the logic in that? You should back up your statement with some facts, not fear mongering.

[@josianz]

Seems like this is inflation that can occur by a rise in demand rather than a rise in production costs. Which is totally determined by companies raising the price of their goods knowing people have more money to spend. A way to offset this is having more choices in what we buy. Fishing as an example, we can support more small businesses. :)

[@bankfishinglife9797]

@@wowza5651 its been a fact. Gas use to cost 98 cent per gallon. Milk use to be 1.25 20 years ago. The more U.S. dollar circulate the more the American dollar is devalued

[@wowza5651]

@@bankfishinglife9797 Kinda off there... True about gas prices and such but what you lack to see is it is oil and gas prices that have caused inflation over the time span you have brought up. When the price of oil/gas goes up, so does the cost of everything else. The oil and gas industry wants you to think the contrary. It takes oil and gas to get the products where they need to go. Also, in the past 20 years a shift has been made to produce electricity from natural gas. This has been driving up electricity prices. Electricity is used to make stuff or process stuff. So the inflation we have seen is solely caused by the oil/gas industry and we are going to see that in the near future because of how Texas mishandled their electric grid and the outage hurt many refineries causing millions in damage that they will roll the cost to us.
