Ok, I think I have lost my mind but I need a sanity check for this. I am a retired Navy Officer (Officer of the Deck Underway – basically driver license for ships) interested in obtaining my Six Pack Captain’s License so I can pursue a career as a Salt Water fly fishing guide. By being a retired ship driving Sailor, some of the time requirements are taken care of by my Active Duty time, so that is a plus. I currently live 3 hours away from the Gulf/Bay, so getting onto the bay to log the 90 days in 3 years for the license might prove problematic. Does anyone know if there is a freshwater version you can get while guiding folks that you can transfer it to salt water license? I am looking at this as a part time gig now that I can turn to when I retire in 15 years or so and go live on the coast and be a part time fly fishing guide. Am I incredibly naive in my thoughts thinking I can accomplish this while living so far away from the bay/gulf? Any thoughts or recommendations on how to do this?
