Super User MarkH024 Posted February 4, 2014 Super User Posted February 4, 2014 Probably none. Buying a new water heater, the rest to bills and college funds for my boys. If there's enough left over a DX might show up some where but I doubt it. Maybe something nice for my better half to keep things cool and calm. Quote
Nick49 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 FORTUNATELY, my outlandish pursuit of fishing gear is not influenced by the IRS. UNFORTUNATELY, it is BPS, BTD, DSG and the biggest culprit of all - TW that increasingly force my irrational hand (& credit card) with each consecutive day that I am not on the water. A warm family vacation will do me no good at all, but it will help my wife tolerate my illness. Quote
BigBassBarry Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 What is this "tax return" you speak of? Must be nice not to pay every year. Quote
NWBassGuy Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Been spending already. Somehow I think I exceeded my refund Quote
Super User *Hootie Posted February 5, 2014 Super User Posted February 5, 2014 Return?... Did you say RETURN?.... I don't get a return. So, I called my congressman, and ask him how much of my tax money he was spending on fishing tackle, he said, NONE! Said he is using it to buy a motorcycle. Hootie 1 Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 None is directly earmarked for fishing. im going to let it sit in the bank till i want or need something. that something could be fishing related, but doubtful. i just dont feel the need to rush out and blow my entire refund on stuff all at once, many people do that every year...

IronSpork Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 New bps opening in Delaware. Suppose a few hundred will go there Don't mean to throw thread off topic, but where at in Delaware? Quote

Super User DogBone_384 Posted February 8, 2014 Super User Posted February 8, 2014 None of it will go for fishing. Going to use it for the yearly family vacation. Bring a pole, or two..... Quote
kwhorne19 Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I meant cabelas. Oops. And it's going to be in chrisitana. Bps opening in ac Nxt fall though BPS pulled out of its Augusta store because it said they didn't feel like our market could support it and Cabelas... i am pretty sure Augusta is bigger than Delaware.. Oh and now we are getting a Gander Mountain too - in yo face BPS! Quote
AQUA VELVA Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Need a new boat cover and a BC reel but thats about it. I've finally got to the point where I only need to replace what I use up, break or loose. It took a long time but I eventually outgrew that ''kid-in-a-fishing-candystore'' with my tax return. 1 Quote
mac_hine Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Great question! A lot of mine is... I'm getting a fishing kayak, a spinning reel setup, a good digital scale, and a good amount of tackle (some cranks, some plastics, and lots of wieghts, hooks, etc.) Just a few more days till good ole federal arrives for me!

Haha. Funny how that goes.. Happy Fishing to everyone this year! Quote
Superdumper Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Finished up my taxes last week and found out what ill be getting back. So this weekend, as anticipation of the check, I got a Feel Free Moken 10 angler kayak for a steal!! Now just gotta wait for the ice to melt. And if it doesnt ill use it as a sled to hold me over Quote
jhoffman Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Im going to hold off on the swimbait rod. I might have a new job coming my way with a massive pay increase. Im going to buy something I need more than want. A stihl ms251, I do habitat work and cut wood. A little more important than another full blown setup. Since I am not buying the swimbait rod I am going to buy myself a new fenwick spinning rod. Quote
tholmes Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 None. The tax refund goes into my IRA. Tom Quote

Im on their promotional staff, with the $10 off discount(LUNCHMONEY) for the new website I got a wicked deal. But I also sold some unused baits so that was a wash and didnt come out of tax refund.
