Upcoming Events
Join us throughout the year as we host meaningful events that bring veterans, first responders, and families together through outdoor experiences, community, and purpose-driven connection.

Some of the best therapy can be found on the water, with a fishing rod in hand and good company by your side.

Meet Captain Alberto – Team Hard Life
First Friday Fishing is guided by Captain Alberto, the heart behind Team Hard Life and Hard Life’s Bait & Tackle in Corpus Christi, Texas. He’s known for teaching practical land-based and surf fishing, empowering anglers of every level while building a welcoming community around education, respect for the water, and ethical fishing.
Through his YouTube channel and social media presence, he shares years of hands-on knowledge—everything from shark fishing techniques to gear rigging—while giving back to veterans, first responders, and families through community events like First Friday Fishing.
