Huh? How the hell did you land that? What are you going to be doing?

sidewinderx7 04-01-2003 08:24 PM

Tuna fish season... I will go fishing, and come back for about 2 weeks then go out crabbing..

phinsup 04-01-2003 08:25 PM

ewww, crabbing sucks, tuna boats shouldn't be bad.

93 R1 04-01-2003 08:27 PM

Fishing? and you make that kind of money? Damn I'm in the wrong business

sidewinderx7 04-01-2003 08:35 PM

but the money is very good

teknics 04-01-2003 09:06 PM

crabbing rules! Except for when you want alaskan king crab, then it really sucks.

im going brown, and red king this year

phinsup 04-01-2003 09:23 PM

Crab boats go out in the worst conditions and you gotta bust ass to make it pay.



Fishing quite honestly is the one thing I can NEVER do for a living. Having followed passions into careers and back out of them again I have learned you gotta keep you fun and work separate, or the fun becomes work. I love fishing of any kind, fly, deep sea, lake and river it relaxes me and I enjoy it like few other things, but I know if I did it one time for money, it would suck fun out of like a burning urethra on the morning after a night out on the town.

teknics 04-01-2003 09:26 PM

well i dont do crabbing for a livnig but when i do go crabbing a couple times a year it is tons of fun for the most part. I've seen video of people going for alaskan king crabs, it was pure insanity on the boat.

Oh I go crabbing, it ain'tbad, I usually drop the pots then fish, I was talking about commercial crabbing.

teknics 04-01-2003 09:31 PM

i hate the pots, the string is the most fun https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png



I've done all types of fishing and ****. Lake Tahoe was lots of fun, went shark fishing a bunch of times, and i live on a lake too lol.



but yea i know commercial crabbing and fishing is some hardcore stuff, im sure i could handle it the only thing that could eventually get to me is the smell https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Here feeshy feeshy.



Are you going to do any lures or maybe a jig to entice the feesh?

sidewinderx7 04-02-2003 04:08 AM

The smell on a crab boat isnt bad at all, you smell REAL FRESH air. You are outside the whole time. And LOTS of people say they can do it. The only way to know for sure is to do it. It takes ALOT of will power... your mind has to be strong. You will feel more sick than you ever have in your entire life, and you will still have to work VERY hard for over 30 hours at a time. Its tough, and most people cant do it. Thats why they make good money.

Baldy 04-02-2003 09:11 AM

Didn't I see something like that on TLC or the Discovery Channel? Like "The most dangerous job in the world" or something like that?



Maybe if I was single, buffed, +100lbs, and nothing going for me in life, then I'd do it. That, or the military.

sidewinderx7 04-02-2003 02:01 PM

Yeah, its the #1 dangerous job in the world. Lots of people die doing it.. but its not as bad as people think. Think of it like this.. I can make 100,000 or more and only work 4 months of the year.

Ben93rx7 04-02-2003 11:13 PM

hmmmmm.... i think i might have to do that .... work for 4 months.... get $100,000 and work on the FD for the other 8 months.... sounds like a plan to me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif
