Took our 3 young kids and everyone had a great time hauling gear and counting crabs. Gary was constantly working to improve our catches from communicating with fellow captains to changing up the baits and locations until we were on the crab and hauling them in consistently. He kept it up well after the 2 hrs it normally takes with standard traps and hauled 6 limits of crab (one for each of us). After a big crab feed we cooked and picked crab till 10PM and then for another couple hours the following morning. :) Great time and we'll be back next season for sure.

Eric is well worth your time and money if you want an impressively high quality kayak fishing…read moreexperience. He's got the boats, he got the gear, he's got the locations for successful outings, yet the real qualities follow. Eric is an intelligent, resourceful, avid outdoorsman who knows the waters we fished around Shelter Cove due to years of guiding, and we caught fish! On our trip we caught at least 8 species of fish and brought home at least 12 fish. I say we caught at least 30-fish, but some were too small for fish and game regulations. The most important aspect to me was Eric's attention to detail regarding safety; the redundancy in marine radios, navigation tools, and consideration for weather conditions and watching for weather that was going to make the trip back to the launch site difficult. I spent 13-years as an Air Force Pararescueman (PJ) and have had my share of rescues, both on the coast in our Blackhawk helicopters and parachuting from a C-130 1,000-miles out to sea to perform a rescue. Eric is the epitome of a safe mariner and guide. My wife Kerry was very comfortable and secure, and caught more fish than any of us! Remember, you're in a kayak that has all the amenities of a ocean worthy kayak- very stable and plenty of dry storage space, deck storage space, no head and no galley (bathroom and kitchen). So, a lesson I learned was to strategically place food and water in reachable positions. You can tie down and stow gear n food on the front n back of the boat, and Eric will slide by and fetch it for you. Also we spent 7.5 hours in the cockpit which is totally up to your party on if you beach somewhere for a stretch and comfort break. We elected to fish and fish and it was totally cool with Eric, 7.5 hours of continuous fishing- marvelous. The addition of Eric's fish-finding sonar made for staying on the fish easier. I could easily go on, but I think I've made lots of great points on why we'll be going again!

My instructor was very well versed and accredited to teach the course. He was also extremely patient with us newbies and took into account that we each had different body types and physical abilities. I especially appreciated the philosophy of the importance of safety at every moment. There were certainly little nuances I would not have thought of on my own. Best of all, it was REALLY FUN! I got to shoot 21 different firearms and it facilitated my understanding of what works for me and what I'd like to explore more. I recommend this course for anyone who is new to the sport or even the old dogs with rusty skills. I'm now an old dog with new skills and appreciation.

You can also observe tide pools with beautiful sea creatures in them. Overall it is a nice place to come and relax just take your time on the trek back up to the mini parking lot.

Hike to a Sea Stack Sheltered Cove…read more This is a hidden beauty but worth the hike to experience. Take the Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse stairs down to the beach or via Parker Creek Trail (off of the end of Parker Creek Drive). There is no parking lot or facilities so be prepared to hike a ways from your car and pack your trash out with you. Spectacular views (see pictures) of Trinidad Head, Trinidad harbor, the sea stacks and rugged cliffs surround you. At low tide you can wonder out on some of the rocks and see tiny marine creatures in their home. Driftwood and smaller rocks are plentiful, making decent wind shelters to relax and ponder the sea. Once the site of the ancient Tsurai Indian village the surrounding lands are still considered sacred and should be respected as such.
