The name of the boat was "The Seashell", a simple but spacious wooden boat painted yellow/green/red with a blue pop-up top. The guide's name was Matt I believe. He does mostly the deeper stuff, but really any guide if they want the money should be able to take you to the river. From what he told me, the North Negril River is the spot, very underfished considering. Check it out on google maps, the inlet is just north of Bloody Bay. The Negril River, is overfished and "dead sea" pretty much from what I've heard.

PS: If you can, bring your own gear! And especially bring your own lures, leader and terminal tackle, that kind of stuff is at a PREMIUM on the island. I left our guide with some jigheads and swimshads along with a nice tip!
