Wanna
have a blast? Wanna relax? Wanna catch fish? (Yeah, that’s what
you really want!) All aboard! It's time to get out on the ocean! The crew
of the Hula Girl is ready to go fishing, and you're invited to join us.
Come on out here to Westport and catch a great time. This is very much
a family operation. Let's start with the youngest member of our crew,
Lily. Lily was born in August of 2012 and loves to come visit her Daddy
(Jason) when the boat gets in. Cooper is next in line and was born May
2011. Cooper has been out a few times with Grandpa and Dad. It seems like
he might be catching the same thing the three generations before him caught!
Now let's talk about Mom and Dad which would be Jason and Shawndra. Jason
and Shawndra met on the back deck of the Hula Girl in 2005 and were instantly
hooked on each other. They have been married for eleven great fishing
seasons, and look forward to many more to come. Talk about the catch of
a lifetime!!! Jason has been working on the boat since he was 10 years
old, and can't imagine a life that doesn't involve filleting LARGE quantities
of fish. Moving on to Gramma Kelly and Captain Grandpa!! Captain Steve
has been fishing since he was 8 years old, and is definitely a life-long
Captain. Kelly can be found running the show at Westport Charters, like
she always has! While their love for the ocean runs DEEP, it's no match
for their now 5 Grandchildren! With any luck one of them might even be
the next Captain of the Hula Girl; which brings us to our most seasoned
member, Great Grandpa Capt. Jack!! Jack operated the first Hula Girl way
back in 1962. Unfortunately, Captain Jack passed on December 1, 2020 at
90 years old. He lived a very fullfilled and Fishy life. His family, along
with countless anglers and friends will miss him dearly. It's easy to
see from our little story here that the Saltwater just gets in your blood
and travels down the lines into our children. We look forward to making
new memories and traditions with everybody aboard the Hula Girl!! |
