Andrew is a Maryland native that grew up primarily fishing for bass in large lakes and reservoirs. After joining the Army kayak fishing became an obsession since he could travel with a kayak and explore smaller bodies of water wherever he moved. He was medically retired at 12 years service, and the passion for fishing took a stronger turn when he started his own business in the fishing lure industry, Tactical Fishing Company. Andrew fell in love with shallow water topwater fishing, and the difficulties shallow tributaries provided that only a kayak could excel in. Now living in South Carolina he focuses on educational fishing content on social media and competes in local and national tournament trails. "Being a part of the Jackson Kayak Fishing Team fills the void that has been missing since I got out of the Army. A strong sense of collaboration, passion for the brand we love, and most importantly the feeling of family." - Andrew Blair
