Andy Middleton

GA

I’m a native of Northwest Georgia, born and raised, with a lifelong passion for fishing. I’m not only a dedicated angler but also a loving husband and a father to two boys, aged 6 and 4.

During my teenage and twenties years, I immersed myself in the thrilling world of paddling whitewater kayaks on various rivers. However, in 2014, I embarked on a new adventure by purchasing my first fishing kayak, seamlessly combining my two passions: kayaking and fishing. The following year, in 2015, I took my angling to the next level by participating in bass tournaments from my kayak.

Fast forward nine years, and I’m actively engaged in the kayak fishing scene, participating in 8-10 events annually across both local and national circuits. My journey has seen some local tournament success, particularly with Reel Krazy and Peach State Kayak Anglers. Moreover, I’ve had the honor of achieving favorable results in national-level competitions on renowned bodies of water such as Chickamauga, Guntersville, and Lake Hartwell. A notable highlight was securing my first national paycheck in the 2021 Hobie BOS on Lake Hartwell. More recently, I clinched a victory in the Georgia BASS Nation and secured a top-five finish in the 2023 Bassmaster Kayak Series.
