How it started
Stephen Joseph Fultz launched Hazlife Fishing after a late-blooming passion for angling turned into real momentum. At 30, he picked up a rod and began filming his outings around Maryland; the content quickly caught local attention and delivered the kind of immediate feedback that kept him creating. In 2022 he formalized the hustle as Triple City Anglers, laying the groundwork for the Hazlife brand. What started with a camera and a few casts has grown into a community-driven fishing venture.
Hazlife Fishing has turned that early buzz into steady momentum, with Stephen doubling down on consistent content and deeper community engagement around Maryland waters. Like many fishing ventures, he’s navigating seasonality and high gear costs, but he’s kept output strong by reinvesting in equipment, travel, and marketing. Flexible working capital—especially a Revenued line that scales with revenue—helps bridge slow periods without tapping personal funds. The focus now is sustainable growth: more reach, better production quality, and a brand that keeps anglers coming back.
Stephen chose Revenued for its flexible, growing line of credit that scales with his business, helping him cover expenses, invest in growth, and manage seasonal demand.
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.
