The development of technology has influenced most of our activities, however, fishing, for the most part has managed to stay true to tradition. Fishing is a passion and a hobby, that’s held close to the heart of anglers, and the majority of which will agree that they will hate to see things change.
The nostalgic nature of this sport has helped preserve methods that have worked for years. However, the event of social media and development of technology in other areas has had a spillover effect on fishing.
Social media has helped grow the sportfishing audience
Sportfishing is an exciting sport, however, not everyone can make it to the tournaments happening all over the world. Social media has managed to bridge that gap. We too have launched our YouTube channel to make sportfishing available to people in all corners of the world. Our channel includes videos of our yachts and the magnificent catches of our guests.
Fishing applications
With the development of smartphones came this wave of applications. Applications have been developed for everything you could possibly imagine, so why should fishing be left behind? Various fishing apps like onX, Fishing Knots, and River Data can be downloaded and used. These apps transform your smartphone into a GPS system to help you navigate or help you find a boat to go fishing. “Fishing Knots” is an interesting app that’s all about knots for hooks. It’s one to try out for beginners.
Millennials have shown interest in fishing
The most common perception baby boomers have regarding the youth is that they spend too much time behind screens. That’s quite a generalization and therefore, doesn’t stand true for all.
Families that have a tradition of going out to fish instill that interest in their next generation too. Don’t just keep this passion to yourself, instead, share it with others and you’ll be surprised at how many are actually interested and would be up to learn this skill.
Fishing is an opportunity to share old traditions
It’s possible to entwine this new era of fishing with traditional methods used in the past. Remember the first time your father or uncle showed you how to fish at a nearby lake or pond? Recreate those memories with your children and teach them a new skill. Video tutorials will never be able to take the place of such moments of learning and bonding. Traditional fishing skills can only be learned through trial and error. Once the younger generation learns and understands the basics, they can explore other techniques.
