Sometimes building a life that's Connected By Water means just adding on to a solid foundation. Meet Astrid deGruchy. She’s been fishing her entire life. She grew up spending days offshore with her dad hunting for Fluke and Stripers up in Long Island. Now she’s a full-time resident of Islamorada and loving that diverse Florida Keys fishery. For her, angling is a passion and a constant in her life that’s always been there. So has baseball. Yep, you heard me. Baseball. So when this Harvard educated snook slayer isn’t poling through the backcountry or deep dropping for Swordys, she’s casting her lines out to handle International Talent Scouting for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
