Are there any Southern California guides

[tpack]

I was looking forward to starting out kayak fishing this year, but the guide I was planning to go out with (Kevin, the Sea Samurai) retired from guiding at the end of last season. The other guy I have read a lot about on here, the Dark Horse, no longer guides either. There is a group in Moro Bay that looks like they are still guiding but that is a long trip for me. I'm in the Ventura County/Malibu area.

Do you guys know of anyone who is doing any guiding somewhere from San Diego to Ventura County?

(And before someone offers to take me out with them, the reason I wanted to start with a guide is I am starting at zero: I don't have any gear, and I have incredibly limited fishing experience and no knowledge (a little time shore fishing and canoe fishing, always with a buddy who told me exactly what to do and how), so I have a preference to go with someone that I'm paying)
