Hi guys. New to the site here, but not new to fishing at all. I do all kinds of fishing, but sweet-water bass fishing has got to be one of the best. Not to try to sound like a a$$hole, but I'm pretty successful at it too which is always good. Here's the thing. I've been seriously considering becoming a charter captain up on a lake in New York. I've been thinking about this long and hard for a long time now and figure if I'm going to do it, now's a good a time as any to start doing it. I'm familiar with the lake already, but would be up there and fish day in and day out for the most part for the next two years or so until I'm confident I can consistently put clients on fish in any weather conditions and only then would I start chartering. I also know that this is also very much so a customer relation business and I'm confident that I work well with others and can make others have a good time while out fishing with me. I figure I would be able to do this for roughly 7-8 months out of the year and then guide for ice fishing when the ice allows it, and I've got a couple other things I can do to make some modest money and have work year-round. I know I probably wouldn't end up making all that much money, but a simple life is OK with me. Does this sound like a feasible career path to make or just crazy? If there's anyone out there who has done something similar, I'd love to hear from you. I also figured I'd be making $30-35,000 the first few years I do this, and grow a bit from here. Does this sound like a reasonable prediction? Thanks guys. Looking forward to the feedback.
