It depends totally on the water and its location and the car you drive.
Millstone for example is a round trip of 1600 miles. In my Octavia thats about £160. Tolls cost £60. Ferries can be very cheap if you book early, we've booked them for £60. Thats £280, split 2 ways £140. The lake costs £280, giving a total of £420.
However my usual weekly fuel bill is £50, so I would of spent that anyway, therefore the trip is only an extra £370.
The same applies to food, I spend no more in France on food than I would in the UK. Bait is a minefield. Many people take far too much. For Millstone half a bag of their pellets at £12 will do, add to this some peperami firesticks, halibut oil, chilli olive oil, a few rosehip and other odd boilies and some hali hookers and you have a £50 bait bill. This means that the trip can be done for less than £450. Considering on my last trip I had 7 forties, 2 fifties, 10 thirties and 2 twenties, I consider that money well spent.
