Captain Scott Null grew up fishing the waters of the Galveston Bay Complex, and has hunted and fished on the Texas coast his whole life. Spurred by his adventurous spirit and desire to explore new waters, he has fished all along the Gulf Coast from the southern tip of Texas to the Florida Everglades.

Scott spends most of his time in the marshes, bayous, and flats of the Upper Texas Coast, where he uses a kayak to stalk shallow foraging redfish. When he isn't fishing for himself he shares his love of the outdoors and extensive knowledge with others through his guiding company Let's Go Fishing.

Scott is a retired homicide detective who worked for the Houston Police Department for twenty-one years. He writes a monthly column on kayak fishing for Gulf Coast Connections magazine and has authored several fishing articles for Paddler Magazine.

Joel McBride is a passionate and knowledgeable whitewater kayaker and fisherman, having frequently paddled and fished both rivers and freshwater lakes since he was a boy growing up in Maine. Now 39 years old, Joel lives along the banks of the Arkansas River with his wife and two daughters in the small mountain town of Salida, Colorado. He has worked in sales and marketing for the most prominent paddlesports manufacturers for the past 15 years and although his days are busy, he never misses an opportunity to get his feet wet.
