The dock at South Padre Island is packed with Texas anglers, abuzz about what’s out there. On the first morning of the Texas International Fishing Tournament, organizer David Gower is always like a kid in a candy store. Engines roar, gulls squawk, and a flotilla of boats head for the depths, where blue marlin troll. There’s a spirit of genuine excitement in the air. With the right strategy, lure, and innate  sea sense, David knows that by day’s end a smart fisherman will land the big one. Success in life — and out there — has taught him so.
A Love of the Sea
Since he has lived in the South Padre Island area, these realizations have come like the tides. He’s fished in the 70-year-old tournament since he was 12, and his father was the chief organizer 20 years ago. From the beginning, he was hooked on ocean sports as well as the lifestyle of island living, which have taught him everything about seizing opportunities. Reading the weather and navigating a course are essential skills, and David learned early on how to use them to gain a competitive advantage.
He grew up in a small Texas town, and always loved the sea. After college, he ran a dive resort on a remote Caribbean island. It had no phones, cars, or roads, and attracting clients depended on David’s bootstrap marketing. The indigenous staff worked ardently and were loyal to the core. His family’s early lessons about treating all people with dignity and respect were invaluable here. Those same principles, proven effective in a place where people truly needed each other to survive, guide every aspect of David’s life today.
