I went fishing with Captain Brock and a few folks in late January. A northern had just come in the night before and it was cold - felt like 40 but probably a couple degrees above that. We met Brock at 6:30 with a 20+mph north wind and low expectations.
First, Brock brought his own (and his wife's) jackets for us to bundle up a little more. Then he put us on a pile of redfish. What's more, he did it all in a protected waterway so the wind wasn't biting us to the bone. I've been fishing for reds in the Gulf plenty, and I can hardly remember as much action as there was with Brock.
But wait, there's more: Brock was as friendly and helpful as you could ask. He'd bait the hooks if you wanted. He'd do the casting if you wanted. He kept his boat spotless. He had sandwiches and drinks. It was just a great trip. Then when we got back to the dock, we met his tremendously pleasant wife and his dog while he cleaned the fish for us.
I can't wait to go back.
