Besides Sean White, Allen Bushnell, Rickey Mitchell, and John Martin, does anyone else offer a Central or Northern California kayak fishing guide service? Clinics count, but only if they include actual fishing time. Thanks.

I think swellrider (Hawk) is a licensed guide. Hopefully I'm not speaking out of turn. Extremely knowledgable paddler and angler. www.humboats.com

Yep, he goes by Swellrider and Hawk, but his real name appears to be John Martin.  :smt001

I don't want to miss anyone, so thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the nod Pat. I was not officially raised by raptors, my mother still calls me John. We do have a licensed Kayak fishing Guide service at Humboats. Our guides are also Kayak instructors certified by the American Canoe Association and British Canoe Union. Mother ocean and the river wilderness is our office and year round classroom.

Spoke with Spike; he's running guide trips in wine country.

Brendan Crahan appears to have left the business.

Anyone else?
