My Fishing Frenzy Academy

Signed up for the Beginner Angler Course for my Son and I. He is turning 10 and always interested to learn to fish but I didn’t know how and where to start. The course was structured and organized really well with opportunity for hands on experience preparing the rod, line and lures. Lazarus island was like a mini getaway and very calm peaceful place for fishing. We successfully caught a few small fishes and my Son is hooked. Have since signed up for thier next course - Beginner angler course which will be on a boat!

My friends and I went for the 1 day BEGINNER ANGLER'S COURSE. The day started off early in the morning at Marina South Pier where we met with the instructor and got ourselves a private charter boat to Lazarus/St john Island. Once there, the instructor set us down and guided us through very patiently everything a newbie would need to know from different types of material of the rod, types of fishes commonly found among our shores and which is venomous, typing of hooks, setting up the fishing rod (which was provided) to be ready to fish by ourselves, all the way to how to hook and fight a fish properly. The instructor was a pretty funny guy so the lesson was not one bit boring at all haha. We then went on to do some fishing with his guidance near at beautiful shoreline of Lazarus Island and we all manage to catch some fishes for ourselves albeit most were small fishes but it was EXCITING to finally able to land a fish by ourselves. Some of us even caught some exotic looking fishes! Overall, although I had some basic fishing experience myself, I still find value in this course and learnt many things that day(like how to properly fight a fish, why use a leader, how to properly tie main line to swivel etc..) and would highly recommend anyone who might want to start fishing for the first time or even just to get to know more about fishing to join the course as I understand it can be quite daunting to learn all of these by yourself when there is so much different information out on the internet and you have no idea where to even start from. They even offer follow-up courses after the beginner courses and needless to say my friends and I are already planning to go for it :) We all become addicts to fishing after the course haha.

Attending the Beginner course with MFFA helped to reconnect with a hobby that I had left behind for years. Had a great time with my instructor, Raymond, who I affectionally call "Master Shifu" these days, and learnt everything from scratch again. I've since completed the Novice phase and have embarked on the Intermediate course to better hone my fishing skills. Every trip with MFFA has been a joy and wonderful learning experience. Thank you Shifu Raymond and Skipper Fidos for always being generous with your knowledge and patience with this growing angler!

It was absolute blast with the Fishing Frenzy Academy. We had an exceptional experience learning how to tie knots and how to set up a fishing rod at the basic course. Aloysius was very friendly and knowledgeable, being a avid fisherman for many years now. He was very willing to share his knowledge with all of us at the class; young, old and experienced fishers too!

The Beginner Angler's Course is perfect for learning the basics and getting started with fishing! My friend and I had an amazing time when we went for this course during the holidays. We are both complete newbies to fishing, but learned to assemble the fishing rod, attach the bait and catch fish through this course. Both of us successfully managed to catch our first fish at the Lazarus Island jetty. The weather was great, ambience was so nice and peaceful, and was an overall very relaxing and enjoyable experience!

Joined for the beginners angler course and had a blast! Learnt a lot about how to set up the rod and the different gears needed, as well as how to tie knots. Definitely recommended for people who would like to learn more about fishing

Brought my son along to learn the very basics of fishing and Aloysius of MFFA didn't disappoint. The explanation/guidebook was very detailed and actually managed to clear many doubts I have about basic fishing equipment/setup/techniques. After this lesson, fishing doesn't seem to daunting anymore. Even my 8 year old son managed to catch 2 small fishes:). Definitely would recommend MFFA for those who wants to try out fishing but overwhelmed by the amount of equipment and techniques. Finally, what's admirable is that MFFA also promotes sustainable and humane fishing by teaching us how to fish with least damage to fishes and encourage catch and release especially for juvenile and rare fishes. Kudos!

Had great fun in the basic angler course coached by Jeric held on Lazarus Island yesterday. He ran through the theory in the morning - how to set up the rod, reel including knots tying. After lunch, we used our gear to catch fish and I reeled in my first ever fish (a coral fish)!! A blue hines grouper followed and then another coral fish. Highly recommended!!
