Meet Angie

Meet the Captain —

Hi, I’m Angie. I was born on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and have spent most of my life fishing these waters. It’s where I feel most at home, and it’s what inspired me to start Happy Fishing.

I love sharing the experience of being on the water. Whether it’s helping someone catch their first fish or watching a family spend the day outdoors together, those moments are what make this job special. I believe fishing is about more than just the catch. It’s about making memories.

Before chartering, I worked in jewelry sales and helped people celebrate life’s biggest milestones. Now I get to do that in a new way—with salt air, sunshine, and a fishing rod in hand.

My journey started when a friend invited me to deckhand on a trip. I’ve been hooked ever since. I’ve worked with some of the best captains on the Coast and continue learning every chance I get. The water is always changing, and I love the challenge.

Every trip is a chance to connect, explore, and enjoy the beauty of the Coast. I’m proud to share what I love with every guest who steps on board.


Girl Power!

I’m proud to be the only solely owned and solely operated female fishing charter captain on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I got my start as a deckhand, working both inshore and offshore for several well-known captains in the area. After gaining valuable experience, I earned my Captain’s License and Master Captain’s License through Sea School in Bayou La Batre, Alabama.

From there, I began running trips for different boat owners along the Coast. But deep down, I knew I wanted to build something of my own. I bought my boat, started Happy Fishing Charters, and turned my dream into a reality. It was the best decision I’ve ever made.

Fish it,

Like You Mean it!
