Stop Dreaming About That Fishing Trip

Start Living It

Join a community of weekend warriors who turned “someday” into “this weekend” — and made

fishing trips a non-negotiable tradition.

Sound Familiar?

You love fishing. But between work, life, and everything else, you can’t seem to make it happen.

When you do get out, you’re fishing the same tired spots. You don’t know where to go, what gear you really need, or who to go with. The friction of planning kills the adventure before it starts.

We were exactly where you are. Twenty-eight years ago, a few of us were stuck in dead-end jobs, craving something more. We loved fishing but never had time for it.

So, we started Guys Fishing Weekend — and it changed everything.

How We Got Here

Twenty eight years ago, a few of us were stuck.

Dead end jobs, unfulfilling relationships and the occasional high of a sports team win.

Life was bland.

We loved to fish. TIME was always the issue. We couldn’t get our laundry done, let alone plan a trip.

Part of it was that we always went to the same fishing spots, so there was no new excitement in the water we fished.

Another part of it was that we forgot how much Mother Nature lit us up.

But something deep down called out to us…

Then one day, Guys Fishing Weekend was born.

A few guys, looking for adventure and some laughs set out for the hills – a motley crew of three.

Our first trip? We caught ONE fish. Ten inches. That’s it.

But we saw something in those three days. We were kids again, exploring the world with our buddies. Creating memories and bonds that made us better men.

So we kept coming back. For laughs. For someone to listen. To lift each other up.

"Things which matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least"

- Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

(Had to have been talking about fishing)

That’s why we packaged up everything we’ve learned in doing our Guys Fishing Weekend, or “GFW” as we affectionately call it, so you can go create this tradition in your own life.

Your Questions, Answered

“But I don’t have time!”

We didn’t either. That’s the point.

We’ve removed all the friction — the planning, the research, the guesswork. You pick an itinerary and go.

The real question is: is this a priority? A quote we like to think about:

‘Someday’ is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you.
– Tim Ferriss

Don’t fall into the trap of “Someday!” It isn’t worth missing out on something special.

We make it easy, removing as much friction as possible for getting you on the water.

“But I've never fished before!”

Ok, that makes this a little harder…wait, shut up! Everyone has a fishing memory. It typically involves a grandparent and worm, but you have a fishing memory.

So, we know you’ve fished!!

But have you done it with skill? Maybe not.

Enter GFW!

We have curated playlists of our favorite education videos and articles for every level of angler.

From the very basic of anglers, to the experienced snob who knows you will never be as good as him.

Forget that guy! We aren’t like him. We know you can do this.

“But I don’t have the fancy gear.”

You don’t need it, and that’s why we have curated tried and true lists of the most basic gear needed to get on the water.

We’ve also packed the membership chock full of discounts to get you on the water for cheap!

We’re confident you can get all the basic gear you need to last for years of enjoyment, for under $500.

“But I have no one to go with.”

You will.

This is a community. A growing community of people looking to go fishing.

Connect with members in your area, join group trips, or bring your non-fishing friends and introduce them to the adventure.

“But why do you even do these trips?”

Because we saw a spark of importance in those three days.

Three days of being a kid again. Exploring the world with our buddies. Creating memories, bonds and stories that would make you blush. So we only tell the PG-13 ones.

Boys will be boys, am I right?

And so we kept coming back. Looking for a laugh. Looking for an ear to listen. And ultimately looking for a way to lift up our fellow man.

This is a community. A community of people looking to go fishing and lift each other up.

We kept coming back because we needed the community we were building. It helped us be better!

“Ok, so what do I get in a membership?”

With an annual membership to GFW, you’ll get a curated tool chest focused on removing all the friction possible to get you out of the shitty desk chair you’re sitting in, and out on the water.

Itineraries to our favorite trips, continually growing, as well as community submitted itineraries.
Discounts to our favorite gear, shops, lodges, and other stuff you probably don’t need but the hobby wants you to buy.
Education library, full of videos, information and resources to make you a better fisherman, friend and man.
A Community of like minded fellow anglers looking to get more out of life…aka Fishing Buddies!
Early access to our content including podcast episodes, newsletter, and our book (our own version of “The Old Man and The Sea”)
And other goodies that will be a surprise, like GFW schwag (sorry, we ruined the surprise).

“Sounds awesome, but this has to cost an arm and a leg!”

No! To stick with our DIY roots, we don’t want this to be something that keeps you off the water.

Our brand defining mission is to get anglers back together, reconnecting and creating meaningful bonds on the water.

We don’t want to do anything to hinder that.

So for just $100/year, you get access to all our fishing intel. 30+ years of it!!
