Wasn't he looking for a business partner to expand? I thought I read in the fishermen or some other mag of this guy looking to expand up the east coast and was looking for an investor.... I think the ad is still in there.
The fishing business is a tough business to make a buck in. I know of few shop owners driving around 60' bertam's on the weekends. Most guys get into because the love the field and hope they can make a living at doing something they love (IMO) and hang out with guys that feel the same way.
Scale has been the key to making big money but that scale puts a lot of pressure on the local B&T guy who deals with "joe sixpack" on a daily basis who wants a dozen worms a few hooks and a handful of sinkers or maybe one plug . Most fisherman will not pay 20+ bucks for a plug, ever. Hardcore guys like yourself will but most guys just won't.
