I NSTRUCTOR PROFI LE


Marshall Hosea


Level 1 Kayak Instructor Marshal Hosea is the owner of Texas Kayak Guide www.texaskayakguide.com.


How long have you been kayak fishing? I started kayak fishing in 1999.


What is your favorite paddlesport? Kayaking.


How did you get into kayak angling? As a child, I always fished out of canoes. I then got into bass boats for a while, but left that for paddle craft to help eliminate pollutants in our waterways. I started kayak fishing and love it even more than canoe fishing as a child in Seabrook, TX.


What is your favorite boat? What about the boat made it your favorite?


I would have to say the Hobie Pro Angler. It’s an all around fishing boat that provides storage for safety equipment and offers the stability I like to have as a guide. It makes a great rescue platform and I can tow up to three kayaks.


Tell me a little about one of your favorite places to paddle? Armand Bayou is a coastal preserve I really enjoying paddling. As a reserve, it offers wildlife second to none. Once while fishing in the Bayou I caught a bass, redfish and trout in the same hole. Also, as a guide, it gives people the chance to see a larger amount of alligators, which are a favorite every time.


Who has influenced you most in your paddling career? Canoeing in east Texas is a natural thing, so no one person in particular.


What drew you to become an ACA Instructor? To help promote the sport; it allows a wide range of participants from youth to the elderly. I actually have started a program teaching the ACA’s Quickstart classes to kids and adults in the Pearland, TX, school system. I am also a big advocate of environmental stewardship and participate in and help organize clean-ups of the local paddle trails. The ACA’s stewardship department appeals to me as an environmental steward.
