Episode 112: Capt. Andy Thompson - The Sheriff

Capt. Andy Thompson is, in my book, one of the greatest people
you’ll ever have the pleasure of knowing, both on and off the
water. He’s soft spoken, but his words carry incredible weight.
Why?Because he’s truthful, genuine, and his integrity is gold! He’s
also one of the greatest guides in the game. Andy grew up in Miami
and at a very young age gravitated to fishing and never looked
back. He refined his craft and eventually started fishing against
the best in the world, in the biggest tarpon tournaments. He and
his angler Mark Weeks won the Don Hawley twice, cementing their
names in the history books. Thompson's knowledge is also incredibly
vast. He can confidently fish from Chokoloskee to the Marquesas and
when the fall arrives, he’ll head west to Louisiana where the
monster redfish cruise the shorelines. Nicky and I have had some of
our best days there with him, where our minds were blown apart by
what he knows and what we caught. Andy also loves to hunt -
turkeys, waterfowl, deer and elk. Yes, he’s an extraordinary
outdoorsman, but he’s even better as a father, husband, and
unwavering friend!
