        One of the best ways to identify a veteran fisherman vs an inexperienced one is by the size of his tackle box. Less is more. The better fisherman I become the less lures I carry. It's the opposite of what most people think..

        What do you need other than a laptop to make connector whatever you need to access?

          Probably different for desktop tech who needs tools, but if you don't handle that kind of stuff, really a laptop is all you need

              Often don't even need that. I bring one, typically, but not always.

                For me, I'm only ever onsight if I'm there for meetings. Don't need a laptop distracting me if I'm talking to customers.

                  Can't argue the mouse. I. Can't stand touchpads either!

                    That's pretty funny. Except that a real fisherman has a frickin' boat and nets. Tackle box is for amateurs. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

                      Using a net is much easier than fishing lures. With a net, you only need to find fish. Find bait fisherman needs to find and hook the fish. The sport fisherman needs to find, lure and hook in the fish.

                      While fishing with a net yeilds the most numbers, obviously it doesn't translate to more pay. The highest paid fishermen are sport fishermen. Obviously the sponsored tournament guys are millionaires, but many local guys do quite well. Sport fishing charters often charge $700-1000 a day. We have about 100 of them just in our county. We are a big tourist area, but most areas have 10-20 of those guys in each area around The US. I know of many fishing guides and charters around the world as well.

                        I understand what you're saying - I have a friend that's really into fly fishing. But sports fishing is still small potatoes to the commercial fishing industry. They make billions.

                            Ok so. According to American Sportfishing Association in their report Sportfishing in America, it's $46 billion and accounts for $115 billion in total economic impact. When you consider travel and lodging associated with it.

                                  You proved exactly what I said! Pay to job ratio is higher in your chart. I never said there was more money. You said commercial fishing has billions then I posted that recreational also has billions. I also mentioned pay was higher. Skill would be higher as it is more difficult and pays more.

                                      That's like $300 per citizen (including babies, prisoners, etc.), per year. I have no idea what the fishing population is like, but the cost of sport fishing must be enormous. My own experience is that @irj is the only fisher I know, anywhere. Seems like the cost for fishing is huge.

                                      Even assuming as many as one out of ten people are avid fishers, and that seems extremely high, that's $3,000 to fish every year for life.

Seems like the cost for fishing is huge.

                                        Even assuming as many as one out of ten people are avid fishers, and that seems extremely high, that's $3,000 to fish every year for life.

                                        But it seems to be more concentrated here in the South. Are we considering professional fisherman or hobbyists (those that do it on the weekends)?

                                          One of the best ways to identify a veteran fisherman vs an inexperienced one is by the size of his tackle box. Less is more. The better fisherman I become the less lures I carry. It's the opposite of what most people think..

                                          What do you need other than a laptop to make connector whatever you need to access?

                                          That's pretty funny. Except that a real fisherman has a frickin' boat and nets. Tackle box is for amateurs. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

                                          Using a net is much easier than fishing lures. With a net, you only need to find fish. Find bait fisherman needs to find and hook the fish. The sport fisherman needs to find, lure and hook in the fish.

                                          While fishing with a net yeilds the most numbers, obviously it doesn't translate to more pay. The highest paid fishermen are sport fishermen. Obviously the sponsored tournament guys are millionaires, but many local guys do quite well. Sport fishing charters often charge $700-1000 a day. We have about 100 of them just in our county. We are a big tourist area, but most areas have 10-20 of those guys in each area around The US. I know of many fishing guides and charters around the world as well.

                                          I understand what you're saying - I have a friend that's really into fly fishing. But sports fishing is still small potatoes to the commercial fishing industry. They make billions.

                                          Sport fishing has 110 billion dollar industry in just US.

                                          That's like $300 per citizen (including babies, prisoners, etc.), per year. I have no idea what the fishing population is like, but the cost of sport fishing must be enormous. My own experience is that @irj is the only fisher I know, anywhere. Seems like the cost for fishing is huge.

                                          Even assuming as many as one out of ten people are avid fishers, and that seems extremely high, that's $3,000 to fish every year for life.

                                          $3k a year spent on fishing is not uncommon at all.

                                            Both. Hobbyist spend way more money.
