Hello, greetings to all I introduce myself is Juan Manuel Sanjaime García, alias Sanjaime90,
component of the Galaxy Kayak Fishing Team Spain and this is my story.
Born in Elche province of Alicante, 18 km from the nearest beach and being a fisherman's family I have spent many good times near the sea, which my parents love as much or more than me.
Even as a child I enjoyed the smell of salt in the baby carriage, while my parents fished in the port of Santa Pola on warm nights, this smell of the sea had to remain on my pituitary, because every time I pass by, my body rejoices So much so, that when I was able to hold a fish in my hands, my father handed me the rod to take it to the shore. Little by little I started to get interested in the different fishing modalities and the first one was corcheo from port, with a hand reed without reel. Here came my first captures that reinforced more this sportive hobby inherited from my parents.
(Here I am with my brother and my father and below with my brother and my mother)
Little by little I shared this sport with swimming and surfboard rides which I already looked at as I put a rod and start my trolling gaits, the first invention was to put a chair to the table and in the hole of the orza nail it and try , fortunately I was not bitten if the cane would not have been important in a short time and as always San Google is the one that bites you and looks for another option, which in this case was a kayak that I asked my father for Christmas, which he thought "this one drowns me and I do not know" and decided to go belly-up and embark on the adventure of fishing in kayak, in the first exit already with monkey after tuning the kayak with a fridge and pvc cane we decided one day January throw us into the sea.
I have not spent more cold in my life (Sorry dad I'll tell you now) XD
Imagine one day in January that scratch would not fall and how brave we were that after getting my driver's license half a year earlier, my father wanted me to make trips to get a grip on driving. "" Now comes the good "" the trip was pure nerve, Playa de San Juan (Alicante) in the picture is the description of the clothing o.O.
We set sail on a great day with the intention of fishing some piece that would strengthen us more in this new modality, something that did not happen since in several hours we were looking for land based on the cold we had, given that our departure was over we went to change quickly and get all the belongings to the car to get home and eat something warm, because the teeth looked like a Morse telegraph, the first disastrous exit we did not know about lures or fishing at that time or the cold that we were going to pass.
But this did not leave us behind and we kept trying with better clothes until finally we met some colleagues who today I am proud along with them to be the co-founders of the Kayak Fishing Friends Club, which among opinions of some and Others started fishing and we were poisoned by gentlemen.
And so much so that in the end none wanted to shovel and the 2 wanted to fish with which we acquired a mount each until eventually we looked for the harmony of seaworthiness and space in our kayaks hitting us with the Alboran 14 Galaxy Kayaks, a puntozo of which we would not change brands.
and as they usually say in cartoons and that's it ... that's all ... e-this is all friends !!
