Meet the Captain of Your Everglades Fishing Adventure

Meet Captain Bruce Pollock – Your Everglades Fishing Guide

Captain Bruce Pollock’s love for fishing began at an early age, growing up on an Indian Reservation where he cast his first line at just five years old. Though life led him to work as a plumber to support his family, his passion for fishing never waned. After raising his family, Bruce returned to the waters he knew and loved, turning his lifelong hobby into a career over 20 years ago. Today, he combines decades of experience with a genuine enthusiasm for sharing the Everglades’ beauty with guests of all ages, making him a trusted and relatable Everglades fishing guide.

With over 50 years of time spent navigating the local waters, Captain Bruce is recognized as one of the top inshore and backcountry guides in the Everglades. He’s fully licensed, safety-certified, and prioritizes both guest enjoyment and responsible fishing practices. Known for his deep knowledge of Everglades fishing hotspots, he tailors each trip—whether a family-friendly fishing charter or a private deep sea adventure—to the skill level, preferences, and comfort of every guest, ensuring productive and memorable outings.

Beyond his guiding expertise, Captain Bruce is active in conservation efforts, supporting sustainable fishing practices and protecting the fragile Everglades ecosystem. His skills in sight fishing, shallow-water tactics, and multi-species strategies have earned him accolades from satisfied anglers and recognition within the local fishing community. Bruce’s dedication to educating guests about fish behavior and environmental stewardship makes him more than just a charter captain—he’s a mentor, advocate, and ambassador for Everglades fishing.

Accommodating up to four guests, the Dorado provides a comfortable and safe platform for families, friends, or serious anglers.
