October 30th Number crunching the tournaments Posted on October 30, 2012 by captgeo I mentioned in my fish report this week that I was going to do some number crunching. I was interested in getting a general idea of the money spent during the past 10 days and how that was spread around, and what value that might give to our fishery. I am not an accountant, and all my data are just estimates, not intended to be the basis of anything other than satisfying my own curiosity. I found the information a bit surprising and thought that it might be of some interest to you. First off, we had nine days of fishing scheduled during the past 11 days. Only eight days were fished due to weather issues. 27 boats fished for 2 days, 80 boats fished for another 2 days and 106 boats fished an additional 3 days for a total of 550 boat days. These are just tournament days and do not include any pre-fishing or practice days. The average tournament day was 12 hours, with getting bait in the morning to returning to the docks in the evening. That is a total of 6,600 engine hours. The average boat size was 50 feet with an average fuel burn of 10 gallons per hour between running hard to the grounds and back and trolling all day. Actually it was probably about 50% more, but the 10 gallons makes it easier to figure out. Total fuel used was 66,000 gallons based on that, and at a cost of $3.77 per gallon comes to a total of $248,820 spent at the fuel docks...
