Make a small fortune in the fishing industry …
…. now there is a headline that you don’t see very often. In fact, I’ve never seen it.
Unless you start with a great fortune and slowly lose it while searching for our friends who live beneath the waves, most people do not enter the exciting world of the fishing industry in search of fame and fortune. There are seldom Salmon cannery recruiters knocking on your door as you enjoy the glory of college graduation, nor do you buy a copy of Entrepeneur Magazine and find “fisherman” as a newly created franchise. Guys who wear a lot of bling and fishing boots rarely walk into your business and hand you a business card and brochure that says, “For a $ 10,000 investment I can help you triple your income in thirty days … GUARANTEED !!”
In fact, I even Googled “Make Money Fishing” and got 313 responses and the daunting idea that if you choose fishing as a way of life, you’re pretty much destined for a life of laid-back mediocrity. Of course, there are a few exceptions, like the tournament bass fisherman or the guys who sell fishing adventures to Mars, but for the most part, if you have a surprising epiphany that “I want to make my fortune fishing,” you’re barking bad riffles. .
Some other samples of the fishing offers to earn money:
1. Russ Roy: Offers a slightly “ironic” article, stating that fishermen can make extra money by smearing stinky fish attractants and fish “sputem” on our jeans and then reselling them on eBay as “designer fisherman clothing.” . Complete with hook holes. I’m just saying a little “jokingly”, because they would probably sell, especially at some fancy Beverly Hills boutique on Rodeo Drive.
“Oh honey, those salmon roe encrusted Jordaches make your butt look divine!”
Heck, put on a 1/4-ounce zipper of “rooster’s tail” and maybe I’ll buy a pair myself.
2. A New England commercial fisherman is selling his fishing operation. He is “grossing” about $ 80,000 per year and claims a “cash flow” of $ 53,000. Sale price $ 105k.
The “hook” here is the benefit of leaving the rat race for the “open seas”.
I have to ask myself, “does this mean you want to get back into the rat race?” Health problems force the sale ?? Wear original wool sweaters!
NO THANKS!
Oh, and by the way, it’s a one-man operation, so have fun running around that boat and giving yourself orders, or you can hire someone and watch your $ 53k disappear.
There is no fortune there.
3. Make Your Own Fishing Lures – This could give you some personal satisfaction or alleviate some tension, which in itself could be a nice benefit to the rest of society, and I suppose if you can get $ 3.00 per lure, you can actually triple your income as your current fly level … However, I doubt you’re going to make a fortune, unless you can enter a market already saturated with fishing lure producers or you live to be 116 years old and can sell them on eBay as “antiques”.
I couldn’t really find any bona fide “get rich fishing” plans except tournament angler deals, which are practically not considered fishing at the time.
Not even an MLM scheme – “You see, you buy 12 fish and send them to each of the Kingfishers in your UPLINE – and then you move up the carp level !!” – “When you move to the top of the” pyramid anchor “and become a” Marlin “, you will receive 64,000 FISH in your mailbox!”
Are you in?
So I suppose that fishermen will have to fall back to the “zen-minimalist” philosophy of: less is more, if we want to consider ourselves “rich” or “rich”.
At least by fishing standards, we can consider ourselves rich in outdoor experiences or a wealth of fishing knowledge. Not to mention, the Toyota Chinook camper is paid for!
According to my good friend “Webster”, fortune is defined as: prosperity obtained in part thanks to luck … And who knows more luck than a fisherman !!!
So keep trying to sell those knockoffs, cheap pharmaceuticals, and “secrets” to success on eBay.
Competition is much less in the “road to fisheries wealth” market.
Which can only lead to a great deal of “downtime”, which can certainly be filled with … FISHING!
Also, I have never heard it said that “time spent selling cialis on the Internet is not deducted from life”, right?
