OUR PASSION FOR THE OUTDOORS

More than 57 years ago, my dad took me fishing for the very first time — and that simple moment sparked a lifelong love for fishing and the great outdoors. What started as a day on the water became a tradition that shaped our family, created countless memories, and connected us in ways nothing else could.


Over the years, I realized something important: those moments weren’t just about catching fish. They were about confidence, patience, laughter, early-morning sunrises, and the kind of connection you can’t get anywhere but outside together.


As fewer kids and families were getting those experiences, I felt called to share what shaped my own life.


That’s why Reelin Family Fun exists — to help kids, families, and groups experience those same meaningful moments through simple, guided fishing experiences, and to bring engaging, confidence-building outdoor programs to kids through schools, groups, and community partners.


Whether you're joining us for a family fishing trip or bringing a program to your organization, you're not just signing up for an activity—you’re stepping into an experience designed to build confidence, spark connection, and create lasting memories… just like the ones that shaped my life.

Connections to the natural world are vital for all of us, and it is sometimes hard to help people make those connections. Reelin Family Fun made those connections happen in a fun, encouraging, affirming, laid-back way. They provided an amazing experience for the students in our program.

Very relaxed demeanor. Engaging and friendly. Active learning with great activities. It's very fun and if your nervous about fishing these guys will put you at ease.

If you want a family friendly event to learn with kind people this is for you. The value for the price clearly shows that they aren’t doing this to make big bucks, but to keep families together and spending time outdoors.
