Do you work around people? I repair guitars at the local guitar center and see quite a few people everyday. The other day an old timer came in to have his banjo restrung. As he was standing there, in order to avoid awkward silence, I started talking about ice fishing and asked if he liked to fish too. Although, he wasn't much of a fisherman he entertained the conversation. After about 20 minutes of talking about whatever, the man tells me that he has an acre and a half farm pond that no one ever fishes and he gave me permission to go out there anytime. Now I'm going to talk to all my walk in customers about ice fishing. I figure one of three things will happen; they'll be bored to death and go look around the store, they'll give me permission to fish their private pond, or I find a new fishing buddy or maybe introduce someone new to the sport.
