Jim Sammons

Southern California native and host of The Kayak Fishing Show, Jim Sammons has been paddle fishing the Baja California Peninsula since before kayak fishing was invented. “When the waves were flat, we would paddle our surfboards out and catch calico bass,” he remembers. From the dawn of modern fishing kayaks, Sammons explored Mexico’s long, narrow peninsula separating the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez. After decades fishing, paddling and exploring the backyard getaway, Sammons says there is still more to discover.
