Beginner's Fishing Course

The Beginner Fishing Course aims to introduce fishing to those interested in trying out fishing or searching for a new hobby. It will be completed within a day on the scenic Lazarus Island, one of Singapore's best kept secrets. You will learn both the basic theory and practical aspects of fishing during a weekend getaway.

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to use a fishing setup confidently and know how to handle a fish that is caught.
