If it makes you feel any better Kevin, I have a job but I still can't afford to get my fishing license until next week. I have two kids and a wife though, so you know where most of the money goes...those pesky kids, always complaining that they want to eat...jeez. Lol.

I was the same way thats why i moved my family to the oil fields. It sucks not being able to fish every week but it is worth it in the long run

Your not alone. I have to patch mine every week.
I have a $40 super spreader that looks awful but it'll still net bait.
I wasn't so sure about it after my last patch job so I stopped by walmart on my way to the lake Sunday night and bought a $30 frabill.
The new one just didn't feel right to me. So I used the super patcher and got er did.
Now atleast I have a spare if I get in a pinch.

Ahhh!! Remember if we could find the Can's with the Marbles inside!! Had you a Rod& Reel with an alarm Spark Plugs for weights.

From one of my most favorite movies. Joe Dirt!

If you look in the fishing manual it say's in order to catch fish you have to do whatever it takes. i patch everything. Why? cause it give me a reason to go and try it out to see if it works. FISHING AGAIN YES

DCM you could always get your wife to take a 2nd job in the evenings or something. Times are tough and we all gotta buckle down and stay focused.

Man Kevin, if it helps, my company is looking for technicians...decent pay, hours are good...real basic skills required, a decent set of hand tools is all you need.

i have posted on here before that a company i work for is always looking for good/reliable/responsible help. contract position doing maid/cleaning for residential, apartments and commercial. office located in mesquite, but service the entire DFW metroplex.

work can be hard, long hours - but that's what you gotta do.

I just patched my boat motor back together with JB Weld. If you fish you will spend most of your time fixing stuff.

Some would rather whine than work

Not having a job sucks

im in the same situation pay check to paycheck my fishing license been exp since may just got it 2 days ago and thats after selling my vehicle i ended up down grading but as long as i get to work and back and able to go fishing again im all for it.
i was out of a job for about 9months at one point in my life but i got off my butt and went to a agency which was the last thing i wanted to do. but it worked for the best. to anyone with out one if there IS A WILL THERE IS A WAY!.......(well if your not injured or have some type of medical condition)my mom hasnt had one in 5years plus she hurt her back and now nobody wants her but she sticking it out social security and all savings ran out but shes hanging on.

what kind of technicians catfishaddiction?? im always looking for a better paid career opertunities

My wife just got bumped down to part time at her job. She was having trouble getting there on time every morning and they were having issues with her having to leave for kids appointments and stuff. Good news is they worked it out with her to go part time and she will have more flexability thru the week and as long as she gets in 24 hours every week she keeps her bennys.
The pay cut will kinda suck, but having a healthier, happier, less stressed out wife will more than make up for it.
She is a nurse and loves her job so I feel like she is taking a huge one for the team and putting the kids and me first.
My job has no flexability. You pretty much gotta have a doctors note that says your dead to miss work up here.
