Scott Baker Rockport is a well-kept secret in the larger world of fishing, but the Robson Ranch Fishing Club knows this area well for its incredible fishing year round. It’s especially nice, because it lacks the large crowds found in more popular launches, and it sits right in the middle of the best redfish (drum)…

Scott Baker Think big…a little bit bigger…even bigger. Picture king salmon and enormous halibut.

We had promised ourselves that Alaska fishing trip long enough. That dream became a…
