Captain Corder isn’t just putting people on fish anymore — he’s putting stories on film.

From guarding the Gulf Coast to chasing giants in the deep waters of Alaska, Pelican2Pelican follows his journey from Pelican Island, Texas to Pelican, Alaska — a wild stretch of water and wilderness where tides tell time and every cast carries a story.

What started as a fishing life has turned into something way bigger — a mission to capture the heart of small-town Alaska through faith, film, and fishing.

🎣 Whether it’s hauling in monster halibut aboard Hook One, setting crab pots with locals, or swapping stories on the dock after dark, Captain Corder is documenting the real Alaska — the people, the heritage, and the soul of a town that still runs on tide charts and trust.

🎥 The camera’s rolling, the reels are screaming, and the stories are real.

Captain Corder. Hook South. From Pelican to Pelican

I’ve spent my life chasing sound, salt, and stories — and somehow, they’ve all led me here.

I’m a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed Master Captain, a Texas Gulf native who still keeps one foot in the studio and the other on deck. From mixing legends on stage to guiding charters aboard Hook One, I’ve learned that music and the ocean have a lot in common — both have rhythm, both demand respect, and both can humble you in a heartbeat.

Pelican, Alaska isn’t just another stop — it’s a place that brought the calling full circle. Out here, the tide keeps time, the mountains set the mood, and every day ends with gratitude.

I’m still making music when the weather turns and the harbor’s quiet, but when the sun breaks over Lisianski Inlet, it’s back to what I love most — sharing this wild Alaskan life with others.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not about fame or fortune.

It’s about faith, grit, tide charts, and trust
