I was wondering what jobs and careers I could get that evolve around fishing as my ideal career is a fishing guide was wondering what starter jobs I should get that ideally involve sport fish o could get until i can become a guide

Personally, I've never fished with a lure worth more than 20 bucks. I wouldn't even think of buying a lure if it crosses the $30 mark. I have combos that are cheaper than some swimbaits out there. Is there even any point to buying such an expensive lure? I mean, bass don't really care if your lure is worth 10 dollars or 200 dollars. How much better will an action get on a 200 dollar swimbait than a regular 20 dollar swimbait? Not to mention, just the fear of losing that lure will drive me nuts, to the point of me never even using it when I'm out on the water. It's like buying a supercar just to park it in your garage.

I was thinking about picking up an abu garcia orra sx along with a winch, I was wondering if this reel is worth picking up.

So I am very new to bass fishing and I would like to buy a baitcasting rod and reel combo. I have about 60-80 dollars to spend. So what do you guys think?

Hey I was wondering. Today that if I were to sell my boat what you guys think would be a good price here's the desription: a 14' north woods flat bottom with a 9.9 Johnson that starts first pull and idles really good a minn Kota edge 45lb thrust that was brand new last fall , a lowrance HDI. 4 with a lake card and then two deep cycle marine batteries? Also it has really nice metal oars please giver what you think would be a. Reasonable price

So here is the Situation: Lets start off with some background. I have been employed by Dominos Pizza since the first of October, and I get paid 7.25 an hour. Now that lacrosse has started, I only work weekends, from about 5 hours each day at the most. I got offered a job at IKEA, (where my whole family works) for 8 dollars an hour washing dishes. Working weekends 6 hours a day. Seems like a no-brainer right? Go work at Ikea, more money more hours. Well it's not so simple. Where it turns into a game of strategy is looking to the future after lacrosse. Once lacrosse ends, I can work every day at dominos averaging 4-5 hours a day 5 days a week. So lets say 25 hours a week, which equals 181.25 before taxes a week. HOWEVER, at Dominos I can work up to 40 hours a week, being part time. Thats a big plus. Yet, If I went to work for Ikea, I would get 8 an hour, be guaranteed 12 hours, BUT, I can only work up to 18 hours a week. So my MAX pay per week would be 144. More likely 16 hours for 128. But then, I would only work 2 or 3 days a week, leaving more time for fishing, girlfriend, and just general chilling out. But then again, I have an opportunity to grow in IKEA, where as in Dominos It would take me forever to be a manager, let alone assistant, and be expected to work 60+ hours a week for only 9$ an hour. But then again right now, I could hypothetically earn $290 a week at dominos working 40 hours (Summertime). I have to make a decision by Friday, because that's when I have my interview at IKEA, which is basically my job because my whole family works there. But wait, it gets more interesting. If I talk to my boss at Dominos, maybe I could take leave until may 7th, (When lacrosse ends) and work IKEA until then, and then work at both IKEA and Dominos, (Being summer, no problem with two jobs) and make alot of money, but have almost no free time to myself, other than the mornings (Until 5) 5 days a week. But I think its highly unlikely my boss will just let me take off Dominos for 2 months, especially considering I only work weekends anyways. Or finally, I could just keep working dominos until may 7th, then try to get a second Job at ikea again, but there is no telling the future whether or not they will be hiring then. SO MANY OPTIONS!!!! What would you do?
