Capt. Shellie Gray was born in Port Lavaca, Texas and was introduced to fishing by her mother at an early age. After spending many years on the waters of the Middle Coast improving her fishing skills and knowledge, her life long passion grew into a successful full time profession. She’s been working as a full-time fishing guide since 2002. She has taught many men to catch different species of fish, but specializes in getting more women involved in the sport.

When she is not guiding clients, she teams up with husband, Gary, and fishes many professional tournaments. Capt. Shellie also writes monthly articles that can be read in  Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine. She is the co-owner of Bay Rat Guide Service.
