About
FISHIN N PICKIN combines 2 unique but thoroughly complementary pleasures: the satisfying thrill of sports fishing, and the energizing intensity of live music. As professional, traveling purveyors of both of these pursuits, we find that there’s a common thread that brings together a wonderful network of like-minded folks all across the world, who seek out the deep qualities that characterize both fishing and playing or listening to music. It’s a mystical connection, one that brings a lot of joy and satisfaction to a world overwhelmed with so much artificiality and staleness. Seems like we’d all like to connect more to people, places, sights, sounds and sensations that make you feel fired up!
We thought it only ‘natural’ to combine these 2 enjoyments into a showcase of the best, the most informative, the most exciting, the most fun presentation of all things Fishin N Pickn. We’re talking EVERYTHING Fishin (all species, salt and freshwater): what they bite, where, when, how– featuring videos, pictures, tips, links, blogs, everything you need to know to be a more informed and skilled fisherman. Resources like this are sure to help everyone become happier ‘catchers’ of fish… instead of just fishin for fish!
At the same time, there’s the Pickin part of the fun. Not pickin beans or berries– we’re talking about pickin MUSIC. If you’ve ever noticed every fishing show you see on television, there’s almost always some acoustic music played behind it. Most often, it’s someone pickin a guitar. And most often, it’s a soft, subtle and gentle affect-very soothing.
Now, with all due respect to those fine players and to the production creators of these high quality fishing shows that we’ve loved for years, we feel it is time to add a big boost of energy to the media side of the fishin world. We want to offer an exciting and totally realistic fishing show concept and resource site: traveling around everywhere there’s fishing potential, meeting people fishing, hearing the local music that fires them up, meeting actual fishin musicians, learning about their prize tactics and techniques , special fishin holes, and maybe stealing a few ‘guitar licks’ along the way!
The musician fisherman or even the fishin music-lover will have access to up-to-date, useful and amazingly entertaining music tips, tablature, show calendars and links to like-minded acts and artists, plus new music downloads. To further enhance this type of interactive experience for the music-loving fisherman, we’ve developed Pickn N Fishin Workshops and Camps , hosted on live water properties, that teach pickin musicians how to advance their ‘chops’ on their instruments, and having the chance to catch some big fish in the process. Plus, many non-playing, music-loving fishermen (and women!) always are in attendance at the Pickin and Fishin Workshops. Just to take in the WHOLE experience. It’s pretty irresistible.
To offer everything Fishin N Pickin is like having the freshest of bait or the finest tied fly. You just can’t lose. With this exciting new concept we hope to inspire young people today, through music and fishing, and the ways and means to be involved in both. We believe it opens up a world of satisfaction and happiness that anyone can tap.
