What kind of boat do you have.. what area do you plan of chartering in.. u live in pa right? Make sure when you get up my way we get achance to do some fun fishing, net dipping
What I would do is just first mate or charter on your days off untill you can make it a full time job.. I work three jobs.. I own the boat.(paid for) I own a semi (paid for) and a small beef farm(not paid for) depending on the weather I do one of the three to pay the bills.. I only suggest first mate job so they you can learn from many captains on how to catch fish in all conditions to make you good at your job.
Here is my first advice.. Call Lake erie charter boat assoc.. Join them and join the drug program.. Get your card.. Now your a first mate.. Call every captain you can find and go out with them.. Tell them they can keep your tip money.. You just want to learn.. learn everybodys style..
