Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Here is more info on the speaker:

Richard Martin from Potomac Paddlesports will be our speaker at the meeting on May 30th. He will primarily discuss things that you should consider before purchasing a new kayak as well as water safety tips.

Richard is a native Marylander. He lives in Ellicott City with his Wife and two children. Martin is a “shop survivalist,” primitive skills expert, owl caretaker, hunter, play-boater, and Level 2 archery instructor. Rich does a little bit of everything, including the occasional repair or customer outfitting installation for your kayak.

In his spare time, Rich can often be found caring for a barred owl named Ranger with the Howard County Conservancy's Owl Outreach Program. He's also a primitive skills expert, which means he's the guy you hope to have around when you become stranded on an island or lost in the woods for a long period of time.  Richard is also a passionate hunter and avid outdoorsman. And if that’s not enough, look for Rich on the theatrical stage from time to time as well.
