Considering Chartering

[JohnR]

I think if you crunch the numbers hard, factor in gas, advertising, starting from scratch from a business standpoint, you would run hard and fast away. Especially if you have a decent job paying the bills. Most successful charters I know have other businesses needing to make ends meet, or a good working bride. More than a few have gone bankrupt.

We all want to find a way to make a good living doing what we love about fishing, but very few of us ever get comfortable $$ doing it.

If you were to break it down $ wise, you'd probably end up making less than minimum wage. I heard it's kinda like owning a striped bass fishing website.
