Good Question... I have thought this very topic out many times. I couldn't come up with a good way to make a living fishing, so I found a job that allows me to have lots of time off to fish. Teach. I work 181 days a year and usually can be out the door by 3:00 (if I do my homework later that night). Of course you get summers off, and lots of vacation days in between. The pay isn't great, but it isn't bad either. Then look forward to retirement!

Good Luck!
