[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 103950, member: 1485"] I think you could do it by starting at the most basic level: guiding. Build up a core of good guides who are personable (IMPORTANT) and can put even crappy 'Sconi fisherman on willing biters. As your following grows, the need/desire for comfortable quarters will warrant building some nice cabins. Maybe even your own landing and docks. Then as more and more people hear about your place, you can expand with a rec/dining/bar area, cleaning shack, bait station, etc. By then, several years will have passed by and your core customers will be your bread and butter. Word of mouth will be key, but you'll also likely be advertising or promoting through local media personalities. I think that's a more realistic plan than the "build it and they will come" mentality. At least, it's a SAFER plan. Probably not as fun, but if your guide business fails, well, you're not out millions for infrastructure and land purchases. [/QUOTE]
