Fishing Hole Builders started officially in 2006 with the first customer project completed in April.
The president and founder of FHB has built fishing holes for over 40 years. Through time and error, John Swinford has found many techniques that attract more fish.
While renting a lake place on Lake Norman in Charlotte, NC. John met an elderly lady living next door. She loved to fish, but had reached the age where she no longer felt safe going out in her boat alone. John built her a "fishing hole" at her pier so she could enjoy her fishing for many more years.
John also met several lake front property owners on Lake Norman that did not fish. Since he had lived on lake front property most of his life, he realized these owners were missing out on one of the best features of having a lake place - the ability to catch fish without leaving your pier. John thought that if he provided a "fishing hole" along with a free fishing lesson, he would "turn on" a whole new group of people to the great sport of fishing. Unfortunately, FHB has yet to have a non-fishing person as a client.
So far, FHB has concentrated efforts toward Lake Norman in Charlotte NC. We have kicked off a few projects in Alabama - the home state of the founder, with plans to expand around the country.
