Who is Tom Scholey?

Tom Scholey is an award-winning angling journalist from Sheffield. Since the age of 16, he has contributed to several angling publications and Internet sites. He began his career as a columnist for Angling Star, before being headhunted to edit Northern Angling Today magazine.

When the publishing company that ran the magazine folded, Tom worked briefly as Editor of top ranking fishing site, Fishing4Fun, before taking a job as assistant editor of Pole Fishing Magazine. In 2012, Tom was promoted to Digital News Editor at Pole Fishing’s parent company, DHP.

In addition to his own editorial work, Tom has also been featured in Northern Angler, Angling Times, Match Fishing Magazine and Anglers Mail.

A regular on top flight match fishing circuit, Tom prides himself on being an allround angler, fishing a variety of different venues throughout a season.

Notable achievements include winning the 2009 Maver Pairs Final individually, and finishing second in the pairs event with Matt Godfrey. The pair also qualified for the 2010 final, but failed to better the result of the previous year. The 2010 season also saw Tom make the Top 40 in the Sky Sports UK Angling Championship.
