I quit my job on August 31 2010 and bought my fishing license on September 1 2010 and started Sockeye fishing on the Fraser river. Met many nice people who taught me how to fish and I am now a FULL TIME FISHERMAN (RECREATIONAL ONLY). Fish only a good days, avoiding inclement weather.Life is good!

I was just scanning down the "what do you do?" responses, not noticing whom they were from. My eye stuck on the one saying he worked at a 24/7 daycare -- and I thought WHAT? Then I saw it was from Rodney, and I had my first out-loud laugh of the day. Very, very funny!

I am a motel manager.
I work 28 days straight and get 28 days off.
Lots of time for fishing as my wife kicks me out of the house after a few days. ;D

I guess I have a little different career. I'm a wine importer / distributor / consultant

My company imports wines (and craft beer) from all over the world and brings it into the Canadian market. I get to sell and teach people about great wines and travel with it a bit. This thread is timely because I have been meaning to let everyone know that if anyone ever needs any advice or has any questions about wine, beer or scotch, I'm your guy!

'Tis the season for buying wine, beer and scotch, so if you guys are wondering which ones are good value for the price, i can help.

On another note, I had the crappiest salmon season to date (only three years into it), and I must say I am not above bribing those who feel like mentoring a relatively new angler with wine! I can offer my knowledge of beer.wine and spirits for your knowledge of all things fishing!

PM me with any questions!

Cheers,

Andrew
