Andrea Bocchi
I come from Italy, near Rome. After spending several years in freshwater fishing, I’ve dedicated the last four years entirely to saltwater. My favorite techniques include slow pitch, trolling, and light jigging. What I love most about saltwater fishing is its unpredictability—one day, you might hook a seabream, and the next, a massive tuna. I’ve been […]

I’ve been passionate about fishing since childhood, taking full advantage of Brittany’s amazing waters whenever I can—especially for Bass fishing!

Based in the UK, I spend most of my time fishing on reservoirs, rivers, and lakes, targeting Zander, Perch, and Pike. Kayak fishing gives me the freedom to reach waters that others can’t, and my approach is all about precision, efficiency, and adaptability. I’ve had the honor of winning back-to-back Kayak Angler of the Year […]
