The Milkcrate Magazine, Kayak Angler Lifestyle

A couple days ago, I posed the question "What's in your Milkcrate?" (http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php/topic,34415.msg367484.html).

Today I'd like to share with you what's in mine!!!

http://themilkcratemag.com/

The Milkcrate is a celebration of the people who define and grow the culture and lifestyle of kayak angling.  Through interviews, photographs, and editorials, this project documents the ideals and motivations of a group bonded by a sport that, while still in its beginning stages, is heavy in self-defined growth.

Like the plastic boxes affixed to so many fish-bound kayaks, The Milkcrate is a gathering place for many of the details integral to the sport.  Here you will find a community of artists, professionals, craftsmen, and anglers coming together to tell the stories of how and why they pursue a life touched by water and nature.

Issue #1 went live today and the list of interviewees absolutely rocks.  We have Tim Niemier, Gary Sinkus, Paul Lebowitz, and Karen and Mark Ezell, as well as Northwest locals Bryce Molenkamp, Ron Sauber, Mark Veary, and Brian Steves.  Some of these people you may know, while others may leave you scratching your head.  But all have an interesting story to tell.  And all come together in what we call the Kayak Angler Lifestyle.

Cool intro issue man!
Your "What's in your crate" question was a pretty crafty entry point.
Looking forward to reading more about this kayak angler lifestyle I'm addicted to.

Smooth work Chief!

Cool website!  Thanks for the link Allen.

  Good Stuff Man....

 I can totally see this being the standard "go to" Nationally to unite us....

  Awesome.... 

Very Nice! The evolution of the sport is what is very intriguing to me. Smart people coming up with new innovations all the time, tested by real users and fast feedback from the online community, AWESOME. Many parallels to my other passion Spey casting (specifically skagit style casting which was developed in the PNW and is also growing like crazy).

Wishing a bright future to all involved.

Thanks guys.  This has been a cool project so far, getting to know some of the minds behind the madness.  We have a pretty good pipeline of interviews on deck, with a whole lot more behind that still.  I'm super excited to see how this unfolds.

If you have any suggestions on who you'd like to see interviewed, I'm all ears.
