Jack Findleton owns Sacramento Sportfishing
Guides. After doing his time as one of those suit kinda guys, he followed
one his life time interests and founded Sacramento Sportfishing Guides in 1981.
Fishing and Hunting News touts Jack as one of the
best striper fishermen in the state (California). "He's tough to beat when it
comes to trolling lures, which is arguably the best way to take a two-fish limit
of spring running Delta stripers." Jack's fishing accomplishments include
winning two California Striped Bass Association Spring Derbies in the Sacramento
Delta. Jack founded the Sacramento Chapter of the California Striped Bass
Association. He served as the chapter's first President and was voted the first
life time membership. He is dedicated to the preservation and propagation of
California's fisheries. Because of his dedication, he was appointed to the
State of California Striped Bass Stamp Advisory Committee.
Jack's "know how" is not limited to stripers. He
has received newspaper acclaim for his Delta sturgeon fishing as well as shallow
white water fishing for salmon and steelhead in the upper Sacramento River.
During the summers Jack can be found in southeast
Alaska fishing for King Salmon, Coho Salmon, and Giant Halibut. Over the
last 15 years, Jack has advanced the Alaskan fishing experience through the use
of Lowrance electronics. His thorough understanding of GPS navigation and
sonar has been invaluable in the safety and successful fishing for his Alaskan
clients.
Jack's professional fishing accomplishments
includes serving on the Lowrance Pro Staff. Jack has been with Lowrance
for 25 years and has earned a reputation for thoroughly understanding the Sonar
and GPS equipment as it is utilized by fisherman.
You may have seen Jack at sport and boat shows as
a seminar speaker or perhaps on national television or heard him on several
radio shows. These guest appearances have been both local to the Sacramento area
as well as national. Jack has also published articles for sports newspapers and
magazines.
In 1985 Jack commanded the water operations for
the Humphrey the Whale rescue. This gave Jack the claim to fame of co-authoring
the book, The Great Whale Rescue. As far as we know this is the only adult book
on the rescue.
Jack's a friendly kind of guy, he will keep the
conversation going with as much fishing information as you can absorb... the
Sonar and GPS electronics, equipment, the bait, the lures, the techniques, the
water conditions, and the truth. Truth is important to Jack. It is important to
Jack that you have an enjoyable fishing experience. Particularly, he feels a
positive experience is important for the first timer or kids learning to fish.
They are the sport's future.
At this point what more can I say. A resume is
boring and usually doesn't tell you what you really want to know. Jack's the
kind of guy you'll enjoy spending the day with; I know I do.
An unbiased writer.
