Hello I’m Captain Ashley and I am a native Floridian and have been fishing Tampa Bay for over 20 years. If I’m not running a charter, I’m fishing for fun. I have a knack for catching big fish and teaching people how to fish. I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and I spend all my spare time fishing. I operate out of a 22 foot blue wave pure Bay and I’m equipped with all Bull Bay rods and Shimano reels. I specialize in snook redfish and trout, and I also like to fish for triple tail, Cobia and grouper.When I’m not fishing I love to spend time at home with family and the dogs. I love to fish with artificial lures and live bait.I just love to fish and want to share my passion and teach others to love fishing as well. Let’s go fishing!!!!
