Based in Somerset, Andy has forged a reputation as a calm, methodical competitor who thrives under pressure and delivers across a wide range of commercial venues. His tactical adaptability, precise feeding, and clinical execution make him a standout performer at the very highest level of the sport.
His breakthrough came in 2011, when he won the Maver Match This Grand Final, setting the tone for more than a decade of top-flight performances. Since then, Andy has reached the FishOMania Grand Final on multiple occasions, most notably finishing runner-up in 2021, narrowly missing out on one of match fishing’s most coveted titles.
Where he has truly made history, however, is in the Golden Reel. Andy has lifted the title twice, first in 2018 and again in 2023, both times showcasing his trademark composure and intelligent angling under intense scrutiny. These victories confirm his status as one of the sport’s true modern greats.
Away from the big finals, Andy is a regular festival winner at White Acres, Tunnel Barn Farm, and Lindholme Lakes, and is regarded as a master of both pole and feeder techniques. Whether fishing shallow for F1s, dobbing carp in winter, or managing margins in summer heat, he brings a level of control and precision few can match.
Andy is backed by Preston Innovations and Sonubaits, contributing to product development and regularly fronting their video content. His calm, insightful delivery has made him a favourite on the Preston Innovations YouTube channel, where he shares advanced tips and tactics with thousands of viewers.
