It’s official
 

I got my Oupv license today just in time for the up coming season any and all advice accepted

Congrats!

Calm seas captain wayne :fishin::fishin:

You’re a good one...

Good luck dude! Advice? Keep the fish and the clients in the boat!!

you will quickly find out that fishing for fun is a vastly different animal then taking clients out

.

Ain’t that the truth
Fun when you have a good bunch of guys and the fishing is steady
When the fishing is slow and the customers don’t understand that its fishing and not catching this can get uncomfortable.

Trust me some of my fishing for Fun friends have shown me a glimpse into that issue:jester:! LOL

I am not looking to cashing in.. just looking to fill a few days here and there , no more than 3 a week 1 trip a day when I would otherwise be fishing Alone anyway ...

Did you guys start an LLC or something else and and whats the min liability coverage you need or want , these are the finer points I need to address

Call ocean marine insurance in ri. And yes - llc

Congrats! I gave mine up (long story) but I decoded that chartering $$ wasn't worth putting up with every schmo that comes along. Now I either fish alone or with friends.

Bingo.. it's why I gave up running charters 20 years ago.and sold the Holland I enjoy fishing way to much to have miserable people ruin my day.

Again thanks for all the well wishes and Suggestion both for and against .. Its just something I have always wanted to give a Try, and and I am using my Army days Training method ... Crawl, walk, then Run Phases Ill be in the crawl phase for a while

Wayne, from what I gather.... you don't need to do it, so you have more control than most. Enjoy it!!! ....and all that more time on the water, don't forget to PM me when you find em.... :laugha:

Thanks and you’re correct there is no need or desire to turn this into a summer hustle. I and will PM you and others when I find them, and please PM me when they show in Providence I found a ramp easy on easy off the 195. And dump me the Seekonk River, I’d like to give a shot
