It all began in February 2020, when I decided to pick up a camera (well, an old iPhone), aim it at my face, and go fishing. I quickly fell in love with YouTube, making videos (albeit not very good ones), and sharing my adventures with the world.
As well as making videos, I couldn't get enough of watching them. Inspired by the biggest content creators in the game, I realised there were people out there doing this for a living... What?! Avoiding the 9-5 lifestyle and making a life for myself filming fishing videos became my dream.
More time fishing quickly led me to the realisation that my true passion was for adventure. Nothing excites me more than fishing and exploring unique, wild and often untouched places (and having a laugh along the way). This became the focus and the theme of my journey!
I spent thousands of hours working on fishing videos (literally). I dived into an endless cycle of fish, film, edit, post, repeat that has lasted for years. I knew that dedication to a continuous learning process was the only way I'd be able to make my dream a reality!
Meet Alfie. An unexpected but very welcome arrival to the family weighing 7lb 11oz. Not quite a double, but hey ho! Having a small mouth to feed was a huge motivation for success, not only financially, but also to show him as he grows up that anything is possible with hard work.
Eventually views and subscribers started climbing, and my commitment began to pay off. With millions of views and thousands of subscribers, I'm closer than ever to my goal. I owe everyone a huge thank you for the support, I couldn't have got this far without it. But, there's still a long way to go!
The next step on my journey is this, Adventure Fishing becomes a brand. A small selection of unique and exciting products developed by me, to help you catch more fish and have fun while doing so! While this is only the beginning, who knows where it could go?
