The birth of a passion
During my childhood I have always been in contact with the Water. As a child I loved to swim and took part in many swimming competitions. I was also a lifeguard in the summer months. One day, a friend invited me coarse angling and ever since I have been infected with the "fishing" bug, spending my time learning and refining fishing techniques.
At 18, I bought my first boat so I could fish in many different ways. When I was 19, I caught more and more big fishes in English Channel and it made the local news. |
Passion and trade
I always try to understand the way fishes live and I always try new fishing techniques. In fishing, as in my life, I like a challenge.
Being president of PecheWeb.com has taught many things both about the Internet and fishing. Through this voluntary work I have gainned specialized knowledge about the fishing and water sports' markets.
The websites PecheWeb.com and FisherMag.com have been a real springboard to carry out my plans : video documentary making, redaction of articles, writing of a book, sponsorship, watersports website making and Sakura products management... |
