Experience I have been fishing my entire life. As a kid, I spent weekends and vacations traveling the west coast with my dad, our dog, and his teeny skiff. I have been kayak fishing since 2002. I needed a way to get on the water after I sold my boat and I never looked back. I owned and operated the Great White Kayak Company for a number of years before signing on to East Cape Kayak Fishing. Guiding in Northern California as well Baja California has given me the opportunity to catch a ridiculous variety of species from steelhead to roosterfish.
Achievements I’m most proud of winning the NCKA Angler of the Year in 2008, as well as a number of NCKA “big fish” category wins over the years. Winning in 2008 was further sweetened by my daughter winning the kids division the same year. I am also proud of technical contributions I have made to the overall advancement of kayak fishing. I pioneered the earliest versions of river drifting anchors and loved working with Kokatat on the first-ever line of technical wear for kayak fisherman.
Biggest Adventure In 2008 I spent 30 plus days in Baja road tripping the entire peninsula with my son and a handful of good friends. We fished until we were RAW and had the time of our lives. Another favorite trip was drifting the Klamath for 5 days with a great group of guys in October of 2010. We fished the Chinook salmon run. Fishing in the day, grilling elk for dinner, and sleeping under the stars…Life is good!
The future My favorite fishing pursuit is to put kids on fish and get them hooked on the outdoors.
