Join us learning more about Captain Jason Trexler of Dirty Dolly Fishing Charters!
 
A little over three years ago while on vacation with his family in the Florida Keys, Jason Trexler found himself “stormed in” – stuck indoors because of the weather and battling frustrations internally with his career.
“I owned a landscaping company for a few years while getting closer to my military retirement and was tired of the headaches of running the business, even though it was doing quite well,” recalls Trexler. “I realized the money wasn’t worth the back-breaking work in the heat.”
As a former member of the United States Coast Guard for 20 years with a 100-ton master’s Captain’s License, Trexler’s heart was with the sea.

By the time the storm had passed, Trexler, who had shared his grievances with his family, had a plan in place to launch Dirty Dolly Fishing Charters – a business named after his formervessel, a Sea Hunt Ultra 225 named “Dirty Dollar”.
For Trexler, owning and operating a fishing charter company is a new adventure every day.
“I love to fish and love seeing other people catch fish, especially when it’s their first time,” he said. “Every day is different on the water. One day is never the same, and I get to do what I love every day.”
Based in Cocoa Beach, Florida, Trexler runs a 30’ Sea Hunt Gamefish with Twin 200’s and all the latest gear. Together with his wife, Shari, and daughter, Lexi, who also are his first mates, Trexler is a full-time fishing guide.
On any given day, Trexler targets a variety of pelagic species, including Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, Sailfish and Mackerel. He deploys a range of tactics when offshore sport fishing, including trolling and live & dead baiting.
Trexler is also active on social media – documenting his charter adventures with his family and customers, on the water.
