Eric is a great person and love what he's doing.  I would strongly recommend him to anyone who needs a guide.

I'm ruined ruined ruined by Eric.    I can't sleep.  I daydream trolling.  Eric's voice haunting me, 'cradling the anchovy in your wet hand, spread the gills with your thumb, use the tip of the hook to pierce an opening by sliding it from head to tail, direct the tip centered to the back of the bony area, the tip lodged in the bone, the angle of the shank moving exactly in this direction, that anchovy stays on, wet hand, circle the leader once around......... 

With only nine months kayak fishing, I hired Eric on the Tuesday at Shelter Cove just before the Albion Tournament.  That morning, I netted two salmon, total weighing over 40 lbs at Shelter Cove, with Eric's full focus on training my paddling, line pulls, testing gear, testing leader, rod placement, rod holding, drag strength, salmon running, salmon netting.

My mind, body, spirit in complete disbelief or awe of where I was, what I was doing, what was happening, no Yippee, no HeeHaws to break the fluidity, the essence of being present at one time, one moment.  It's an engraving on my life that's never going to leave.

Ruined ruined ruined by Eric.

It was great seeing you guys in SC and hope we get to dive together soon!!

I know my brother wants to go diving with you and Joe sometime this season at the Ranch.

I am a newbie here. Never kayak fishing before. The only thing I did is crabbing with my rods from shore.
Would Eric guide benefit me ? Or Do you think it's best for me to get some experience and then use his guide ?

Thanks fellas
