BA Fishing – Trip Reports: Florida, 2021

Premiering this summer, BA Fishing is a thrilling and engaging new show that documents the adventures of expert angler, free-diver, paddler and all-around outdoor adventure enthusiast, Bri Andrassy. The series will follow Bri as she embraces the salt life and rides the Florida waves—whether it be from her stand-up paddleboard, kayak or her Sea-Doo—on her ongoing quest for adventure.


Film shoots for the first season of BA Fishing took place last month in beautiful, sunny Florida. The first episode was filmed in Jupiter, Florida, where Bri calls home. The crew filmed Bri exploring the waters on her Sea-Doo, spearfishing, paddleboarding, diving, backwater fishing and more.

The second episode was filmed in Lee County, Florida. In this episode, Bri met up with Mike Hammond of Lee County Parks and Recreation, and his daughter Kaya. The three went fishing and Bri was reminded of her very first fishing trip with her Dad, which just happened to have taken place in Lee County many years ago. It was here that Bri, at the age of three, caught her first fish on a Mickey Mouse rod. Needless to say, she was hooked.

The weather was tough for these film shoots, with strong winds that hampered plans for tarpon fishing and primitive camping among other things. Despite the challenges, if the trip photos are any indication, the BA Fishing crew captured some incredible content that will make for awe-inspiring tv.

Stay tuned.
