Meet Reece – The Heart Behind The Carpy Vikings
Fishing pulled me out of a dark place.
At a time when my life was falling apart, I didn’t see a way forward.
But the moment I picked up that rod again and sat by the water, something shifted.
The stillness, the sounds, the focus — it gave me space to breathe and think clearly.
Fishing became my escape, then my therapy, and eventually my purpose.
Now I help others find that same peace — not just through catching fish, but through reconnecting with themselves.
My Journey
I’ve been through some dark times — addiction, anxiety, and moments where I felt completely lost.
Life moved too fast, and I couldn’t seem to catch my breath.
But when I found myself by the water again, everything slowed down.
Fishing gave me space to think, to breathe, and to rebuild piece by piece.
It became more than a hobby — it became my therapy, my focus, and my way back to myself.
Through those quiet moments on the bank, I found peace, purpose, and the strength to move forward.
That’s why I started The Carpy Vikings — to share that same healing and sense of belonging with others who need it most.
What I Do
I now use fishing to help others find the same peace and purpose it gave me.
Whether you’re completely new to angling, getting back into it, or just looking for a few quiet hours to reset, my coaching is built around you.
Every session is personal — focused on where you’re at and what you need, with patience, honesty, and zero judgement.
We work on both the practical and the mindset side of fishing — learning skills that build confidence on the bank and calm off it.
It’s not about chasing trophies; it’s about progress, connection, and finding yourself again through fishing.
“Fishing isn’t about the catch – it’s about finding peace”
My mission is simple — to help others find the same hope and peace that fishing gave me.
When life feels heavy, the water has a way of quieting the noise.
Through The Carpy Vikings, I want to show people that there’s always a way forward — sometimes it just starts with a rod, a lake, and a bit of time to breathe.
My Approach
Every person who comes to The Carpy Vikings is on their own journey — and my coaching is built around that.
