I am Hobie’s new Marketing Director, but don’t let that fool you as have been marketing for outdoor brands to ensure I can run whitewater rivers and fish as much as possible ;-). I hail from just outside of Ottawa, Canada but have fished globally for decades. Fishing has taken me all over South and […]
Ashley Rae
I’m a full-time angler based in Ottawa, Ontario, with a passion for multi-species fishing. I travel across Canada and beyond to fish and share my adventures. Since purchasing my first Hobie Outback in 2011, Hobie kayaks have been a key part of my fishing journey. In 2009, I launched SheLovesToFish.com as a personal fishing diary. […]

Hooked on multi-species fishing from my Hobie kayak in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. You can find me launching from from the shores of the Great Lakes, or hooking into big river smallmouth or on the legendary Lake St. Clair. When I’m not working on the farm I try to spend every minute I can on the […]

I have been fishing for most of my life and began kayak fishing in 2004. My first fishing tournament was the Jacksonville Classic in 2010. In 2012, I competed in my first Hobie Fishing Worlds in Texas, marking the beginning of an incredible journey. Since then, I have participated in Hobie Fishing Worlds events in […]
Phil Nichol
I’m a passionate kayak angler, tournament competitor, and fishing guide. Based in Durham, England, I also have a second home on the shores of one of Scotland’s wild lochs, where I spend as much time as possible pursuing specimen northern Pike and Perch. When conditions allow, I explore the waters off the Northumberland and southwest […]
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 […]
Pierluigi Cantafio
I was born in Calabria, southern Italy, 45 years ago, and fishing has been my passion since I was seven years old. Over the years, it has become more than just a passion—it’s now my profession. In 2011, I made history by catching the first bluefin tuna in Italy entirely from a kayak. My drive […]
Marco Pasquini
Born and raised in Bolsena, right on the shores of one of Europe’s most famous lakes, it was only natural for me to develop a deep passion for fishing. Fishing from my Hobie kayak is something I truly love—it keeps me connected to nature and allows me to reach places that are impossible to explore […]
Gilbert Pécot
I’ve been passionate about sea kayak fishing for Bass since 2019, and it’s become my main hobby—it’s just that addictive! I primarily fish along the French Atlantic coast with my Hobie Outback and have had the thrill of competing in several tournaments, even making it to the podium a few times.
Poulen Jordan
I’ve been passionate about fishing for the past 10 years, spending the last five exploring the waters from shore, by boat, and by kayak. With a competitive spirit, I regularly take part in sea fishing tournaments, primarily targeting Bass. Based in Perros-Guirec, Brittany, I fish across the entire region, always on the lookout for the […]
