Happy Birthday Sonny
Grateful for your kindness
Thankful for all the halibut you’ve gifted me
Enjoy your time with Family

So, I shaved my beard but she likes me better with a bit of a shadow (thanks for telling me!)
I am in need of a few recommendations from the group on which facial hair trimmer to acquire
My old Wahl trimmer is severely lacking in quality
Please let me know your preferences/reviews, Thanks

Seen a few pics of the pier at the cement ship. It's mostly gone now.

Back in February 2016, I told Bushy I was ready to buy a fishing kayak. He told me to come over to his garage. Before we shook hands over the deal (carbon fiber paddle, PFD, and a kayak filled with good fishing karma), Allen said “you have to promise me that you’ll join NCKA!” GLAD I DID

Figured I’d make my 1000th post a fishing report:
2/26/22-Went out of MBK Saturday morning in search of bait and the early season halibut. I rigged up a bait jig on one rod and a trap rig on the other. Water was a chilly 53 degrees, the cold front just finished but it wasn’t warm. Found some marks that turned out to be smallish blue rockfish. Moved around a bit and the blues found me again. Paddled in shallow and found a “ball” of bait on the FF that wouldn’t bite. Trolled a Lucky Craft behind the breakers on the way in for a few strands of eel grass and some kelp.
All in all, good first shakedown trip of the year and everything works, including me. Just not the part of me that catches the target species… yet.

Thanks for having me around for 1000 posts, I know I’ve read way more than that. Thanks way more for the friends I’ve made! You’ve helped me become a better kayak angler, a better cook, but the advice that’s served me best over the last 6 years was, “JUST DON’T SUCK!”

This..

After a few skunked surfperch sessions and some wet feet, I asked Bushy for some tips.
He said,“Just Keep Fishing”

*Reached a solution*
*Thank you all for your caring support*

Sadly, my landlady lost most of everything to fire.
On Saturday we tended to the herd once more and sold 10 of 13 cows to 101 Livestock auction
Their pasture above Coastways Ranch is burnt along with the water system
We have 1 going to be processed in a few days which was our original intention for that particular animal but 2 bull calves remain and can no longer keep them there and have no other place for them.
We have an animal trailer and truck for transport.
PM me for any other info
