Victor pours his heart & soul into establishing a NYC fishing organization; very few people bust their ass to get so much done for a community. There’s a lot of word of mouth about the club (also thanks to his tireless outreach) and it’s drawn a multitude of people. But more importantly, he & others in the club have set the tone that anglers of all backgrounds (like race, gender, orientation, experience level) are welcomed.

The club offers the opportunity to connect with other diehards — some surfcast, some deep-sea fish, some ice fish, and more! The various outings are always an epic time. I always encourage others to look into the club and meet up at some events. You can never learn too much from others’ stories, and you can never have too many fishing friends you can talk shop with.

To me it’s not a club it’s more like a fishing family, lots of us within the club share a similar passion not just for fishing but for life. I love what we do. Whenever we get together we always have fun and lots of laughs, there’s always something to learn and teach, we fish hard, we eat lots, we share tips and tricks and reviews on tackle and everything in between, we snap pictures of you when you fall asleep while fishing, we share recipes, bait, tackle, jokes, stories and so many experiences outside of fishing.

I have learned a lot since I have joined the Brooklyn Fishing Club. I have also met a lot of great people who are dedicated to fishing. These guys are willing to help out with any questions pertaining to the sport. Being involved you have access to a ton of information about our local fishery.
