DTro Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Have I considered it? Of course I have, who hasn’t fantasized about fishing for a living. There are logistics that really make things difficult on navigable waters. You need a captains license, insurance and who knows what else. Then I would probably need a bigger boat, cost of fuel, maintenance, etc. Fishing is so much fun for me. Usually as money gets involved, the fun factor drops. The last thing I want to do is turn into a guy that tosses 8 oz sinkers at approaching boats or gets into shouting matches with someone who is “too close”. Life is way too short for that krap. I’m flattered that someone would consider paying me to take them fishing, but I also want fishing to remain something I can fall back on when I need a pick me up. I’ve seen way to many guys get burned out and just quit fishing. I guess I can “never say never” though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishuhalik Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 You don't need to make it a living. I use to do a little guiding when I lived up in northern MN out on Winni. Maybe a couple times a month. Need a new rod? Take a couple of guys out fishing for a night. Need to pay for the fishing you do all week? Do 3 guided trips in a month and your set. Just a thought!

I'm starting to cringe at work whenever I get a e-mail from you early in the morning and here is some more pics of some monsters coming out of our little river around here. You have definately earned it all! Now we need to see a few more 50's out the rest of you guys and I'll jump on the 60+ bandwagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
