Fishing For Tomorrow was born from a combination of experience and passion. I was born in South Africa and moved to the United States when I was fifteen. I spent uncountable hours fishing South African waters from the local rivers to the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. Freshwater, salt, deep, shallow, you name it I tried it. Fishing was a big part of my youth and it is still with me. Most importantly, and I did not realize this until later in life, it brought me closer to my family. Days spent on the water were special, but it also gave me a hobby, a sport, a passion that the hours spent fishing flew by. It gave me something to look forward to, no matter where I was and what I was doing.
Fishing was not something I was naturally drawn to, my dad dragged me along with him when I was quite young. I think he was born with a fishing rod in hand and died with one near his bed. Moving to Texas did not quell my passion for fishing. My family would go to the Gulf of Mexico and the local every chance we got. As an adult I don’t always have as much time to spend fishing but I never lost my passion for fishing and what it provided me.
Fishing For Tomorrow is a way for me to give back to my community, to introduce and pass on fishing to others. Hopefully to show somebody that has never fished what it can do for them. I want others to be able to experience the joy and pleasure brought by a day on the water catching fish.
