Fishery startup help

[Saul]

Hi All

I'm looking into opening a new fishery in Scotland.

Any ideas of grants and funding available.

 

Cheers

Saul

Check with disability - if you make your waters (or a large part of your waters) disabled friendly you may qualify for a grant.

Suggest you have a look here first

# then get a good bank (don't ask me where)

 

# pray that Scotland is too cold for cormorants

 

# Running a fishery is like Victor Gauntlet said about his days at Aston Martin .... when he left he had a small fortune ...the problem was that he had started with a large one :mad:

 

# buy a "Been there, done that" T-shirt from me

 

# buy a ready-made fishery down south where it's much warmer ... bigger fish ... more anglers (PM me for my price) with Stanley-knife thrown-in for free (for wrist-slashing)

 

# wait 20 years for the carp to get really big and/or charge a fortune (SB will tell you how )

 

# make sure your partner/wife/girlfriend/Mum & Dad can support you while you embark on this.

Some good advice there . If you can make out your fishery is giving something to the community e.g. disabled fishing, children/beginner coaching, wildlife etc.. there is more chance of you getting a grant.
