CKF Guides have been leading many of the trips we offer for over 10 years with hundreds of satisfied anglers and a high rate of repeat guests. We organize trips & clinics for experienced kayak anglers and a few for those with no experience at all.

San Simeon, San Diego, Malibu, Dana Point California, *Northern Baja California, Eastern Sierras, Lobster and Crab, Thresher Shark and much More...

The CKF Clinics are conducted year `round in and around Southern California USA and Baja California Mexico. We target yellowtail, halibut, barracuda and thresher sharks plus kelp bass, salmon, white sea bass, lobster, crab and a dozen other species.   Clinics focus on a variety of topics like specie specific techniques, big game kayak fishing, kayak fly fishing, fishing submarine structure utilizing sonar, Eastern Sierra lake fishing and much more. Many anglers who join us are highly skilled and just come to fish with the group.  Multi-day CKF Clinics are intended for entry level and experienced kayak anglers seeking to expand the scope of their fishing or just have a great time. Kayak rentals are available for out-of-towners on all trips.  Malibu Day Clinics (in Malibu, Dana Point and Newport Bay) are offered for kayak anglers who are fairly new to the sport, own their own kayaks and have fished them at least a few times.  Kayak fishers who are new to the sport without any previous experience on a kayak should consider the CKF Schools.  Contact any CKF Guide for more information,
