The history of Feeder Adventures and Feeder Adventures Competitions.

Six years ago, social media gave me an opportunity that I, as a novice angler, tried to take advantage of. The initial difficulties I encountered as a "fresh" angler quickly opened my eyes to the fact that I would have to ask for help if I wanted to be successful. Already in the first semester, I knew that I could quickly gain experience where it was available, namely alongside competitive anglers. That's why I started amateur competition early on, and despite a few initial failures, success eventually came. When the anglers accepted me into their community and we talked about competitions, which were already supported by the Feeder Adventures group, one question always came up. The financial implications of the competitions. That's when I decided to try my hand at organizing competitions, and through my connections, I managed to get some sponsors on board.

This way, the competitors could compete for the entry fee, gifts, and prizes, as well as for the glory. In the first year, we fished with almost no rules, and there were certainly those who were happy to come to the competitions. A community formed, which more and more people joined. We also held our first competition exclusively for women, and even in the first year, I felt that I had had a good season, as many people joined us and I myself learned a lot. In the second year, we modified the rules a little and targeted those who actually wanted to compete, pushing the friendly competition a little into the background.

Of course, this wasn't so easy, but fortunately, it wasn't received too badly. In addition to children's competitions and competitions for women, we also did charity work. We have already held two successful fundraising events in conjunction with the competitions for the Bátor Tábor Foundation, where we donated half a million forints each time. In addition to monetary donations, we also collected several hundred kilograms of non-perishable food and clothing for the Ecumenical Charity Service.

It's amazing how the community of competitors has grown. Last year, we organized our competitions under a completely new set of rules, and the difference between competing and racing was already noticeable. Here, the angler's experience was also necessary for the result, not just luck. Sponsors kept coming forward, and now we have a support network behind us where it's not just about advertising, but we also have a common goal, namely to train the next generation and spread this great sport as widely as possible.

For us amateurs, it's easier, as the biggest names in the profession have put Hungarian anglers at the top of the world and brought recognition to our country.

Energofish, BenzárMix, WalterLand, Duplakukac Fishing Shop, Fishing Zone, Dovit, N01 Baits, Halat.hu, FishinGo Sportérem serlegüzlet, Stég Product, Atomix, and Drennan Magyarország have supported our work, which has been warmly welcomed by everyone.

The year 2020 will be a year of complete renewal for Feeder Adventures Competitions. We will hold most of our competitions under a new set of rules that comply with national regulations, with many competitions, new venues, and, with a slight change, live water competitions will also be included in the offer (e.g., Danube). The 200+ competitions held so far and our community of competitors have helped us to hold major competitions.
