CAPT. PLAGGE TAKES FISHING, REAL ESTATE INTO HER OWN HANDS
1/2 cup vegetable broth 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp vegan Worcestershire sauce
Twelve years ago, Capt. Krista Plagge moved from her “sleepy hometown” to Tampa to follow her dream into the fishing industry. She had already completed Sea School with the hopes of becoming a fishing guide, earning herself a rank not held by many women. After her move, she started a job in hospitality and used her background to enter fishing tournaments. Soon, bartending wasn’t her only gig. Krista landed her first professional fishing sponsorship with WingHouse, and later, she would have sponsorships with Under Armour, G. Loomis, Daiwa, Traeger, and more. Regular anglers may recognize her from numerous TV shows, spokesmodeling, worldly travels, and countless fishing accolades.
1 tsp liquid smoke 1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp olive oil
Bread of choice, toasted
1/2 cup sauerkraut
Vegan Swiss cheese (optional) 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
DIRECTIONS
After years climbing the ranks of the fishing world, Krista’s influence inspired her to journey into a career in real estate — thanks to her mom!
1. Cut tempeh into 4 thin slices. 2. In a shallow bowl, combine broth, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, liquid smoke, onion powder, paprika, and garlic powder. Marinate tempeh in mixture for 30 minutes. 3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Cook tempeh in the oil for 5 minutes per side. 4. Between toasted bread, layer tempeh, sauerkraut, cheese (optional), and dressing. Enjoy immediately.
“Combining this reach with the knowledge from frequently traveling to and fishing in many of our coastal communities, getting my real estate license was a decision that just made sense,” Krista says, later adding, “The most enjoyable part of my job is getting to work with my mom! She was licensed a few years before me, and eventually it just made sense to team up.” As a real estate team, the duo cover Citrus and Hillsborough counties, including areas in between the two. Together, they guide prospective buyers and interested sellers through the red-hot, high-stakes real estate market in Tampa, proudly advocating for their clients as if they were their own family. In her experience — both personally and professionally — anyone who has considered dipping into the real estate market shouldn’t wait any longer. While there are no guarantees, the prices are unlikely to change, Krista explains. “The market can seem very intimidating right now for buyers feeling like they’re going to fail before they even get started and sellers not knowing where they’re going to go even if they are ready,” Krista says. “Finding a good deal is still possible, and selling and purchasing can be seamless with the right strategy and a dynamic real estate team.” We’re proud to feature a resilient, determined woman like Krista this month.
