Hooked on fishing, fatherhood and family
As Father's Day approaches, families everywhere prepare to honour the men who have shaped their lives. This year, we highlight a special bond between 13-year-old Teran Fowkes and his father, Colin, of Impala Park, whose shared love of fishing has turned into a cherished family tradition and a deeper connection between father and son. For Colin and Teran, Father's Day isn't about extravagant gifts or fancy dinners, it's about time spent together. 'It's a special day for us. We just spend time, talk, and do what we love,' said Teran. Their favourite shared pastime is fishing. Teran first picked up a rod in November 2024, and since then, the cherished moments by the water have become their way of further building their connection. 'That's really when the bond grew stronger. Now, we try to go fishing every month. It's become a family thing, something we look forward to,' Colin said. As a father of two, Colin speaks openly about the joys and challenges of parenthood. One of his proudest moments, he says, is seeing Teran grow into someone who knows who he is and sticks to it. 'He's not easily influenced by peer pressure. He's got his own flow, his own identity and that's something I admire,' said Colin. Also Read: Make Father's Day unforgettable Reflecting on his own upbringing, Teran highlighted the life lessons his father passed on, lessons he hopes to instill in his family one day. 'Self-control, being there for your family, valuing education, showing gratitude, respect, and co-operation, those are the things I will teach them,' he said. When asked how their relationship has evolved as Teran gets older, Colin smiled. 'He's always been a daddy's boy. Watching him grow, seeing him develop his own interests and personality is amazing.' This Father's Day will be a special one. The duo is heading out to Vaal Dam for their first ever Father's Day fishing trip. 'It's our first time celebrating it like this, and we're really excited,' they said. Colin's philosophy on fatherhood is grounded in balance. 'You can't really control your children. Your role is to guide them, prepare them for the real world, and let them make mistakes. That's how they learn.' As for the legacy he hopes to leave behind? 'I want him to be strong and true to himself , to follow his own ideas, not just mine. If he can carry that forward, I'll know I did my job as a father.'
