Amanda P.

aka "Manda Panda"

4+ Years at GFP · 20+ Years Deep-Sea

Amanda has been passionate about fishing her entire life — starting with her grandma, she fell in love with deep-sea fishing over 20 years ago. As a Captain at Galveston Fishing Pier for the past four years, she teaches children and adults the basics of fishing: anatomy, identification, and regulations. Her grant-supported program brings 1,800 kids annually through Texas Parks & Wildlife.

Hailing from Lake Granbury, Amanda's favorite part of the job is watching faces light up as anglers reel in their first fish — whether it's a big shark or a small saltwater catch.
