Fishaholics Anonymous

You wake up before dawn for a reason.

Fishaholics is a REEL COMMUNITY for the obsessed. Salt, fresh, shore, kayak, or cabin cruiser — it doesn't matter how you get on the water. What matters is you can't stop fishing. Neither can we.

Not a 12-step program

A 12-step identity. You don't quit. You commit.

01

Admit the Obsession

We admitted we were powerless over the bite — that our tackle boxes had become unmanageable.

02

Find Your People

The only thing better than catching a fish is telling someone who actually cares. Salt and fresh. Shore, kayak, and offshore.

03

Pass It On

Having had an awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other Fishaholics.

Who Started This

Craig founded Fishaholics for the same reason you keep casting.

He couldn't stop fishing. Simple as that. A veteran who spent years on the water and realized the best conversations happen before dawn, with coffee in one hand and a rod in the other.

Craig built this REEL COMMUNITY so anglers — kayak, offshore, shore, and everything in between — have a place to call home. No judgment. No gatekeeping. Just people who understand that the bite isn't optional.

"If you're reading this, you already know. You wake up before dawn for a reason. So do we."

The Big Book

The Big Book of Fishaholics Anonymous

A 12-step parody handbook for the addicted angler. Forward, Steps, Traditions, Member Stories, and more. Because the only thing better than catching a fish is knowing you're not alone in the addiction.

Forward — How It Works

"If you're reading this, you already know. You know what it's like to wake up at 4 AM on a Saturday — not because you have to, but because the tide window is opening and you can feel it in your bones."

Step One

"We admitted we were powerless over the bite — that our tackle boxes had become unmanageable."
