That is a good article and I'm not surprised at all.  Fishing can be done on any budget, probably just as productive. If you're hungry it's hard to beat a cane pole and a box of leaf worms.

I see hordes of people fishing the piers daily with a bag of frozen shrimp for 3 bucks.........it's that or they don't have dinner for the family.

Cost was one of the reasons I got my jon boat. I mean the thing take 3 gallons of gas and to use that much I have to run it full out for 8 hours. As long as I do not get hung up to much, I can go fishing all day for <$10 and with the customizations I made to my boat, it is a pretty good time taking it out.

When I used to shore fish, I could do it for less than that. On top of that, when you are out on the lake, you are not spending money elsewhere like eating out, or shopping.

When you think about it fishing can not only be cheap but rewarding

I do it very right. What are you talking about? I have my boat, all my equipment, lures, etc., etc. I make myself a couple sandwiches, get a few gatorades and I go out and it costs me gas money to get where I'm goin'. Then I catch some bass. Sounds right to me. If fishing is costing you a fortune, then you aren't doing it right. There are guys that spend thousands and thousands a year and catch no more fish than other experienced fisherman that spend a few bucks a day. If you're good enough, you'll get paid for fishing. Now that's really doing it right.

Dude, Burley means you are not doing it right by telling your wife she going out shopping is costing you money and then comparing it to what costs you go fishing.

It 's not what you say but how you say it and what they feel/think about it and most times they are going to take it the wrong way.
