| Make Small Fortune In Fishing | | | | a one man operation--so have fun running |
| Industry.......now there is a headline you | | | | around that boat and giving orders to |
| don't see very often. In fact, I have never | | | | yourself, or you can hire someone and pretty |
| seen it.Unless you start out with a large | | | | much watch your $53k disappear.No fortune |
| fortune and slowly pitter it away while in | | | | there.3. Make your own fishing lures-- This |
| pursuit of our friends who live beneath the | | | | might give you some self satisfaction, or |
| waves, most people don't enter the exciting | | | | relieve some tension--which in itself might |
| world of the fishing industry to seek fame | | | | be a nice benefit for the rest of society- |
| and fortune. There are rarely any recruiters | | | | and I suppose if you can get $3.00 a lure you |
| from Salmon canneries knocking on your door | | | | can actually triple your income as a current |
| as you bask in the glory of graduation from | | | | fly tier...However, I doubt you are going to |
| college, nor do you pick up a copy of | | | | make a fortune, unless you can break into a |
| Entrepeneur Magazine and find" fisherman" as | | | | already saturated market of fishing lure |
| a hot start-up franchise. Guys wearing lots | | | | producers or you live to be 116 and can sell |
| of "bling" and chest waders rarely come | | | | them on ebay as "antiques".I really couldn't |
| sloshing into your business and hand you a | | | | find any bonafide "get rich in fishing" |
| business card and brochure claiming that: | | | | schemes, except for the tournament fisherman |
| "for a $10,000 investment I can help you | | | | offerings, which pretty much isn't considered |
| triple your income in thirty | | | | fishing at that point.Not even an MLM |
| days...GUARANTEED!!"In fact, I even googled | | | | scheme-- "You see, you buy 12 fish and send |
| "Make Money Fishing" and came away with 313 | | | | them to each of the Kingfishers in your |
| responses and the disheartening notion that | | | | UPLINE-- and then you move up from carp |
| if you choose fishing as a way of life--you | | | | level!!" --"When you move to the top of the |
| are pretty much destined for a life of | | | | "pyramid anchor"and become a "Marlin" you |
| relaxed mediocrity. There of course are some | | | | will then receive 64,000 FISH in your |
| exceptions, like tournament bass fisherman, | | | | mailbox!"Are you in?So I guess we fishermen |
| or guys selling fishing adventures to | | | | will have to retreat to the "zen-minimalist" |
| Mars--but for the most part --if you have | | | | philosophy of : less is more, if we want to |
| some startling epiphany that "I want to make | | | | consider ourselves "wealthy" or "rich".At |
| my fortune in fishing"- you are barking up | | | | least by fishing standards, we can consider |
| the wrong riffle.Some other samples from the | | | | ourselves rich in outdoor experiences, or |
