Brock did a great job getting us a good fishing experience on a day where the fish weren’t biting (for anyone) as much as usual. We still got a fish for everyone on board, which was better than most of the boats on the water that day. Nice guy and a great guide. 

June 5, 2025

Brock was an exceptional guide! He exuded knowledge, experience, and friendliness throughout our trip. We had an absolute blast and, thanks to Brock's expertise, landed impressive Chinook weighing 12 and 15 pounds! We wholeheartedly recommend him and eagerly anticipate booking with him again.

Brock was absolutely fantastic! Although fishing was a bit slow due to the season, crabbing was outstanding, and Brock's warm personality, preparedness, and expertise made the trip unforgettable. We highly recommend Brock!

"Captain Brock is unparalleled – truly the best guide I've ever had. His extensive knowledge of the area, coupled with his expertise as a pilot boat operator, made the trip exceptional. Despite slower fishing, we still managed to reel in eight fish. I highly recommend Brock!"
