Hi Ncka, hope everyone is having a great day.  2020 has been a shitty year for me and a lot of people, and I am glad it is wrapping up.  I don't know about you guys, but I am very excited for 2021.  The pandemic has kept me on lockdown most of the year, and I was able to go on a few fishing trips, but definitely not as many as I would like.  I have been on this board since 2013, NCKA has been like family to me.  I've met a lot of you guys and I want to meet more of you.  For 2021 I pledge to be more active on this platform, sharing info, intel and help newbies and veterans alike.  Ncka has made me think about kayak fishing in itself.  I have been seeing a lot of new kayakers getting into the hobby and I would like to provide input and help to get people started on the right track as well as doing it safely. Safety has been a top priority for most of NCKA-ers.  Once this stuff is over, id like to attend fishing tournaments again.  I�m actually running out of shirts to wear since there hasn�t been a tournament for a long time.

Also, in 2021, I would like to bring to you guys my new business with newer offerings.  A lot of you may know I have been producing jigs and jigheads since 2015.  During the last few months, I have upgraded my production line to be able to handle higher volumes and cut down on time which translates to profit and lower overhead costs. This results in higher quality products with lower cost to consumers.  My new business will specialize in creating fishing tackle to slay ocean creatures across California, from rockfish, lingcod, salmon, halibut and offshore pelagics.  Sort of a one-stop online tackle shop for local saltwater species.  In 2021 I will have a few new offerings for the rockfish season in March/April so stay tuned.  You can visit, my for-sale page here. http://www.norcalkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=75876.
Thanks to those who have inquired and ordered in the past. I look forward to doing business with everyone soon.


In addition, I would like to thank all of those who I have fished with in the past.  Thanks for having my back and thanks for keeping me safe.  If you are one of these people, you are more than welcome to stop by my shop to hang out, check out my operation, and pick up some prototype jigs to try out.  I don�t hesitate on this because you guys are like family to me.  The loss of a friend on NCKA has recently made me realize that our hobby isn�t just a hobby, but more of a lifestyle. In honor of him, I also pledge to have your back when we fish in the ocean, as he has always had mine when we fish.  R.I.P. CDM

I was looking for the Kaiju thread but I think I’m gonna leave this right here. To me This thread showed the person bob is and his passion for Kaiju. Since day one Bobs been one of the dudes on and off the water first learning from others  then helping others…. Bob recently blessed me with a couple of newer Kaiju colors me and Pops put them to work this morning.  :smt006 :smt004

Thanks for breathing life into this thread again as I had not seen it until now.  I'm with you Bob, 2020 and well also 2021 been the toughest time in my adult life.  You were kind enough to hand out some of your nice swimbaits and jigs, and I too am looking forward to using them  :smt003  Is your thread for purchasing up to date for this year?  I've got some lead I'd like to give you as well since you were so generous to myself and others already.  :smt004
