The Business of Fishing: A Business Traveler's Guide to Fishing for Leisure on Work Trips!

Business travel and fishing. How and where do these two worlds collide? I wrote this book to tell you that they can collide, if you so desire.

Business travel, combined with leisure, equals "Bleisure". Bleisure plus fishing equals "Bleisure Fishing", which is what this book is all about. Have you ever traveled to a far away city next to an interesting body of water, and wished that you had the time, tools, and know-how to do some fishing while you're in town? Well If you're a business traveler, or just someone that likes to travel, and you're anything like me in that you love to fish, then this book is for you.

In this book I'm going to tell you:

• Why you might want to go fishing while away on business
• What equipment you'll need and where to purchase
• How to travel on an airplane with all that gear
• Licensing and regulations to be accountable for
• Weather and general safety tips
• How, where, and what species of fish you might catch "out on the road"
• Some top "Bleisure Fishing" destinations in the U.S.
• Whether you should "catch and release" or "catch and cook"
• A few fish-tales, and funny story or two

In essence, my hope is that this book will not only entertain you, but also inspire and equip you to pack a travel fishing rod with you next time you're getting ready for a business trip, or even for a vacation. Maybe your next trip is to a city near a coastline or river where you've dreamed about fishing before, but never had the opportunity. Maybe It's somewhere you've never even considered going fishing. Either way, this book will open your mind and prepare you to take advantage of your fishing opportunities while you still can. After all, you're not going to travel forever, so get after it while you still have the chance.
