About Me

Welcome to The Gambling Angler – where angling passion meets the tide.

My sea fishing journey began when I was just seven years old — the moment I picked up a rod and felt the ocean’s pull, I was hooked. What started as a childhood pastime quickly evolved into a lifelong obsession. It’s taken me on unforgettable adventures, introduced me to some of the biggest names in angling, and carved out a rewarding career in the fishing industry.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of writing for leading UK sea fishing publications like Sea Angler Magazine, Total Sea Fishing, and Sea Angling News. I've also enjoyed time in front of the camera, presenting fishing shows for BT Sport and Online Fishing TV — sharing the excitement of the chase with fellow anglers across the country.

Fishing has become nothing short of an obsession for me over the years—not just on the Bristol Channel, but in every spare moment I can find. I won’t dive into the full list of memorable catches, but one standout achievement has to be catching the European shore-caught ling record in Norway from 300m of water in 2023. That moment was pure adrenaline and one that will stay with me forever. 

One of the biggest highlights of my career has been working with Veals Mail Order, where I’ve proudly spent the last 20 years. Being part of such a trusted and respected name in the angling world isn’t just a job — it’s something I’m genuinely proud of. I get to work with passionate people every day, helping fellow anglers gear up for success, and that’s incredibly rewarding.

Alongside my work with Veals, I’ve also been fortunate to serve as a consultant for Daiwa UK, and I currently represent Anyfish Anywhere as a brand ambassador — opportunities that have deepened my knowledge and love for the sport.

What excites me most these days is the chance to share that passion directly. I now offer guided shore fishing trips along the stunning Bristol Channel — one of the UK’s premier sea angling hotspots. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned angler looking to sharpen your skills, I’d love to help you make the most of your time on the water.

So if you're passionate about sea fishing, curious about the magic of the Bristol Channel, or just keen to improve your catch rate with expert guidance — you’re in the right place. Let’s make some great memories by the tide.
