Captain Rob's life has been defined by the pull of the water, a passion ignited when he was just a young boy fishing alongside his father and grandfather. With over two and a half decades of hands-on experience navigating our local rivers and lakes, Rob has developed an instinct for the water that only comes from a lifetime of dedication. His competitive spirit is legendary; truth be told, he often wants to hook into a monster fish even more than his clients do, ensuring he works tirelessly to find the "hot spot" every single day. He transitioned into professional guiding because he wanted to create a service where everyone—from seasoned pros to first-timers—could share in the raw excitement of a successful day on the water. Beyond his local expertise, Rob is a consummate professional who prioritizes safety and compliance. He holds a U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License, a current CDFW Guide License, is fully American Red Cross First Aid and CPR certified, and is a member of the Maritime Consortium Drug Testing Program.
For Captain Rob, it’s not just a job, but a lifelong mission to pass on the thrill of the catch and the traditions taught to him generations ago!
