After Tanya Dowdy and her husband sold their veterinary practice, she started working at a tackle shop. That led to a boater safety job, requiring Tanya to get her captain's license. Before she knew it, she was elbows-deep in Reel Chica Charters, which takes anglers of all abilities on fishing trips off the coast of South Carolina. Tanya is on a mission to make angling and boating more accessible to everyone -- especially women.
