I'm not a business man, I'm a teacher, so take my advice as you will...

I, too, have thought of starting a fishing related business but I've often wondered if I'd still enjoy fishing (as I do now) if my income depended on it.

Do all the necessary and prudent financial research, and consult openly and honestly with your spouse (if, in fact, you're involved in a relationship). A new business can add stress to personal relationships, so make sure that yours are strong enough to see you through your new venture.

In the end, you'll make the right decision. People usually do...sometimes it just takes a while to realize it.

Best of luck,
Andrew
