Guide for gear fishing?

[John Sv]

Hi,
Still trying to get my now 12 year old hooked on fishing. He fishes, and does quite well, but isn’t really excited or motivated. And I am not pushing it, because I think you need to find the love on your own. That said, most of the fishing we have done is well, probably boring for a 12 year old. Trolling, nymphing under an indi….
I think what could get him hooked is a lot of action watching bass or even breams, smash lures. Which got me thinking about a guided boat trip either in the delta, sac, feather. Does anyone have a favorite guide for tossing gear? Not looking for trophy or even big fish, looking for lots of action.
Thanks in advance.

Bob Sparre is the best for this because he has a lot of kids himself.

One of the top veteran gear and fly skiff guides in Nor Cal.

Andy and I have fished with him and have known him for decades.

Shad is always a good option. plentiful, active, and fight well.

Bass fishing on the delta is far from a guarantee.
