🎣 Fishing Journey

Gabriel’s love for fishing started at just 5 years old, when he first joined his father on the water. Although it began casually, feeder fishing changed everything for him in December 2019. From that moment, the passion grew into a dedicated pursuit, with method feeder being his favourite style of match fishing.

Recently, Gabriel has also started his journey into specimen angling, looking to develop new skills and target larger fish. This exciting transition allows him to challenge himself in different fishing styles and broaden his experience on the water.
