Featured review from Peter S
view more less of this reviewKirk's is extremely generous with his knowledge and successfully taught all of us how to procure meals from the sea and much about the politics of fishing on the West Coast. And it was all FUN! His passion rubs off on you.
star this review starred report as inappropriateKirk is an amazing font of information on all things coastal. It was fascinating learning about the various (edible!) creatures that live right along our shoreline. Not sure how many of the techniques I'll put into practice myself, but I might troll for the occasional crab and certainly want to pry a few limpets off the rocks. Good eats.
star this review starred report as inappropriateKirk knows his stuff: he caught dungeness crabs (and threw them back), showed us mussel beds, told us the laws, and generally made this an entertaining experience. I'm not sure I will ever actually try any of these activities, but he certainly made me want to. I recommend the event.
star this review starred report as inappropriateWow! This may be one of the most informative and enjoyable tours I have ever been on. A great blend of relevant information and hands-on action. The tour has info you can use right away. Kirk is a overflowing receptacle of current info and entertaining opinion. It was a pleasure. I will certainly sign up for his other tours.
