  2. Do you receive compensation as a guide/charter captain and are licensed?
  3. Are you paid by sponsors to promote their fishing/marine-related products?
  4. Do you receive substantial discounts or No Charge for fishing/marine products?
  5. Are you hosting/organizing angler education events?
  6. Are you involved with the boating/fishing industry in sales or marketing?
