About Tim
" Even before his 24th birthday, Tim Simpson had already achieved six world records from the International Game Fish Association (IGFA), starred in a movie beside Hollywood legends, was coaching fishing at national Shows and was running two of Australia’s largest specialist fishing tackle stores. And that was just the beginning…
Long before his appointment as Editor of BlueWater Boats & Game Fishing magazine in 2005 and his subsequent purchase of the business in 2016, Tim was making a big impact in the fishing tackle industry and game fishing world. He decided to leave school to pursue a university degree in Marine Biology, however took a summer holiday job at the Compleat Angler fishing tackle store in Sydney city – and loved it so much he remained there for the next 23 years.
Fast forward to February 2024, not to brush past decades of Tim's experiences entwined to his game fishing exploits (he'll fill us on all this at the dinner), the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) honoured Tim with the Chester H. Wolfe Outstanding Sportsmanship Award for...
"unwavering dedication to promoting the sport and advocating for ethical angling practices, marking his indelible impact on the global angling community.”
