As a kid, I used to get the golf balls out of the ponds on the neighborhood country club. We made some pretty good money cleaning them up and selling them down on the course. .35 each or 3 for a buck. .50 each on the really nice stuff. There were several kids in the neighborhood doing this, so the challenge was always to be the first on in the ponds as early in spring as you could stand the cold water, as the other kids hadn't been in yet. Once it warmed up, we'd spend more time diving to the bottom in deeper water where the other kids wouldn't go. 'Rigged up a floating fish basket on a couple small inner tubes. We'd dive to about 10 feet, get what we could then resurface, put the balls in the basket, catch our breath and then dive again. A good night might yield over 25 balls. I'd clean them up and be next to the 9th hole tee box on Saturday morning. Frequently the old greens keeper would come around and buy me out just to get me off the course. He always acted all rough and tough about us being there on a private country club, but he really had a soft spot for kids and made sure no one ever messed with us. We cleaned up the shags and sold them to a local driving range for about .17 each. I'd accumulate the shags and sell them in the spring when the driving ranges opened. I made enough selling balls and shags to buy my first compound bow and some decent fishing gear.

Cool story gopher. Wish the kids today had that kind of ambition, mine included (grin) Free bump

I was a pretty enterprising young kid. We lived near a fishing lake and I'd go pick worms in the yard at night, take 'em up to the corner which lead down to the lake, and sell them to the fisherman. I'd be up at 5:00 every Saturday and Sunday so I'd be up at the corner by 5:30 to catch the guys going by. Dad used to take me out to the creek on our old family homestead in Washingtonville, Ohio and I'd seine minnows, and catch bigger suckers on hook and line. We had a big old plastic tank that we put in the trailer and hooked up to the lawn tractor. I'd run a battery powered aerator, and haul the minnows up there to sell. I used to get .50 each for big suckers. I'd go with 30-50 dozen nightcrawlers and a few dozen suckers and I'd be sold out by 7:30 every morning. I had all the neighbors and friends saving cottage cheese containers, styrofoam cups with lids, anything I could pack worms in. None of the neighbors ever complained about me running the tractor early in the morning, surprisingly. It was good money for a 10 year old kid, and Mom and Dad liked the fact that I got started so young, and didn't have to have an allowance as I was making my own money. I did good enough with the bait that I kept it going, even after I started working two jobs when I turned 16.
