Meet The Team
As You may have read from the above Andy opened the centre in 1996 for anglers that share the same love for the sport. In that time Andy has fished all over the world from Norway to costa Rica and catching some fantastic fish along the way specializes in all aspects of boat angling and holiday fishing.
We introduce you to our real Captain and Andy's partner in crime with 26 Years in the trade you could say she knows her stuff. Known as the first women to win the Swedish summer cod festival back to back! its easy to say Charlie likes to show the men how to fish.
The longest serving member of the team, With experience of fishing for carp overseas, his vast knowledge of the carp world is valuable to us. It goes without saying in his 12 years of service, this man knows his stuff about all aspects of fishing.
The legend has returned. With knowledge of all aspects of fishing, this man could catch a fish in the local swimming pool. Sea fishing is his speciality, but also a very competent coarse angler. You may recognize Mackie from some youtube videos, with a keen eye to detail and patience of a saint, you can always pick his brains.
Fishing Locally since he was 11 Shaun's knowledge stretches far as out an out sea angler. There's not much he hasn't fished for in our waters well known in the lure fishing seen as one of the Dorset lure club admins as well as being a brand ambassador for
Pirate Lures he specializes in anything lure related for bass. Competing & Running competitions all over the uk.
Our youngest member of the team and apprentice to Harry and Mackie. Fishing runs in this boys blood. Very keen to be out fishing, he knows his stuff about sea and coarse, although he is young he is way ahead of his time.
