"It all started when my boy was about 10. Thru couple of years he has been reading up and watching youtube videos to learn all the techniques. In order to be on par to this young man, I also took up the Beginner Angler Course organised by MFFA to "fast track" myself to catch up with him.
It was a very interesting journey, through that 1 day of learning, all students learnt a lot and it really prep us for more exciting journeys to come.
I think it was during this time we really clicked through the same hobby, we were more like friends and not father and son. It was a great time and I managed to caught a couple of fishes and learnt advanced knot tying skills from the instructors.
Now his skills have way surpassed me, he has become my teacher. We've been to countless "inland" fishing trips together and I hope there will be opportunity for us to go out to sea and enjoy this kind of bonding again."
