Have you ever considered not being a fisherman?

Hey folks,
I'm reaching a cross roads in life
I'm caught between fishing and archery/guns
I'm looking at the possibility of a career change to incorporate gun smithing, in amongst some metalwork and fitting, so work might be hobby related.
I'd like to hear of anyone's own personal choices
Cheers

Dont mix work with pleasure IMO

I used to be in the aquaculture industry dealing with fish everyday. I never went fishing and when I did I didnt enjoy it.

I do a little around the local gun shop and build my own target rifles (aside from any machining) under the supervision of a gunsmith mate there. Its enjoyable and all but again if I did it everyday I wouldnt be doing it in my spare time.

Archery... that was a fad for me

I think he's already flirted with the whole sex change thing... that was when he sold all his MB/Daiwa gear for Loomis/Shimano...

X2 for not mixing business with pleasure. If you enjoy fishing then become something other than a fisherman. If you want to shoot go and work in a tackle store.

I worked in the industry for a while and am enjoying my fishing more now that I am not in it.

keep work as work as long as there is satisfaction in your work all's good but fishing it's either in you or it's not..

Don't quit fishing. There's no reason you can't hunt and fish.
