How it started
Stephen’s entry into fishing was late but authentic. He started posting video content from Maryland waters, and his audience responded. In 2022, he formalized his side hustle under the name Triple City Anglers, which later evolved into Hazlife Fishing. What began with a camera, a passion, and a few casts turned into a community-focused fishing brand grounded in storytelling.
Hazlife Fishing has gathered serious momentum. Stephen has doubled down on consistent content and tapped deeper into the local angling community. He faces industry realities—seasonal demand, expensive gear, travel costs—but he meets them with reinvestment and flexibility.
The Revenued Flex Line, which scales along with business revenue, helps bridge the slower months without forcing him to use personal assets. Stephen now focuses on better production quality, more reach, and building a fishing brand that anglers return to again and again.
When Stephen evaluated funding options, he chose Revenued for its flexibility and growth alignment. The Revenued Flex Line scales with his revenue, giving him access to working capital exactly when he needs it—no collateral required.
He says that every few months, his limit increases automatically as his business grows. That dynamic support has made Revenued more than a resource—it’s a true growth partner for Hazlife.
The fishing and outdoor recreation industry continues to grow as more entrepreneurs turn their passion for angling into viable businesses through guided trips, content creation, and community engagement. Small fishing businesses like Hazlife Fishing often face challenges with seasonal demand, equipment costs, and scaling operations. Reliable access to working capital helps cover expenses such as gear, travel, marketing, and event participation while revenue cycles stabilize. As the recreational fishing market expands, businesses that blend entertainment, education, and community outreach are positioned to build strong brands and long-term growth.
