He’s Not Just Putting Lines in the Water He’s Putting Stories on Film.

follows his path from Pelican Island, Texas to Pelican, Alaska — a stretch of wild water where tides tell time and every cast carries a story.

What started as a life built around fishing has evolved into something more — a mission to capture the heart of small-town Alaska through faith, film, and the water.

Whether he’s hauling in halibut aboard Hook One, running crab pots with locals, or swapping dock stories after dark, Captain Corder documents the real Alaska — the people, the grit, and the soul of a town that still runs on trust and tide charts.

🎥 The camera’s rolling.
🎣 The reels are screaming.
And the stories are real.

Captain Corder.
Hook South.
From Pelican to Pelican.

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

I’m a U.S. Coast Guard-licensed Master Captain and a Texas Gulf native who still keeps one foot in the studio and the other on deck. From mixing legends on stage to running Hook One in Alaskan waters, I’ve learned something simple:

The ocean and music have a lot in common.
Both have rhythm.
Both demand respect.
Both can humble you in a heartbeat.

Pelican, Alaska isn’t just another stop.
It’s where the calling came full circle.

Out here, the tide keeps time.
The mountains set the mood.
And every day ends with gratitude.

When the harbor’s quiet, I still make music.
When the sun rises over Lisianski Inlet, I do what I was built to do — share this wild Alaskan life with others.

Because in the end, it’s not about fame.
It’s not about fortune.

It’s about faith.
Grit.
Tide charts.
And trust.
