The Crew of Hindsight Sportfishing

Capt. Brett Wilson

Captain Brett Wilson with a beautiful Cape Cod Bay striped bassCapt. Brett Wilson is a second generation fisherman. His father had a fishing charter boat out of Rock Harbor for over 20 years. He started as a mate on his father's boat at the age of 10 years old. He mated on many different boats, in many fisheries, gaining a diverse knowledge of the ocean, the many species of fish, and how to truely run a boat. At the age of 18, Brett received his captain's license. With his license in hand, Capt. Brett headed to the Florida Keys, where he furthered his career mating for some of the best captains in the world.

In the Florida Keys, he had the opportunity to mate and captain several boats. This allowed him to gain a whole new knowledge of a distinctly different fishing environment.

To this day, Brett fishes over 300 days per year. During the winter months, he captains fishing charters as well as sailfish tournament teams. During the summer months, he is on the Hindsight in Cape Cod running charters fishing for bluefin tuna, striped bass and bluefish. When fall rolls around, Brett is a commercial fisherman for giant bluefin tuna. Then it's back to Florida to start the tournament sailfish season again!

Notable Achievements:
