January 25, 2008, Newsletter Issue #69: Plan Ahead

Tip of the Week


Long before your next fishing trip comes around, start planning your planning. Budget-conscious anglers can do a lot to lower their dollar outlay by looking forward to the trip and completing a few preparations.

The most costly part of any fishing trip is the lodging. Unless you're staying with a friend, accommodations can be expensive. Call the local Chamber of Commerce or Tourism Bureau to find a listing of motels, lodges and campgrounds, then start making some calls. Compare prices and amenities until you find the lodging that will meet your needs and be kind to your wallet.

Buy food that will keep when its on sale. Plan a simple menu that you can stick to and avoid the "I'm hungry and there's a McDonald's" trap. Other ways that planning ahead can save you money include looking for deals on the fishing equipment you'll be needing and hold off until the price is right. A little planning can easily save you hundreds of dollars.
