Sixteen fellow NCKAers sacrificed their diets and some dinero to pig out one more time with Bill at Hokkaido before he takes his family to deep in the heart of Texas. Thanks for all you've done for NCKA, Bill, and please keep in touch.

Bill, When I think of NCKA I think of all the wonderful times I have had and the quality that those times have brought to me and my family. From this date forward your name will always be attached to that word , "Quality".
Thanks for putting this site together and we wish you and yours the best.
I'll miss the entertaining "Lap Dances"!,
Sincerely, The Sacramento's

Thanks for making it out guys, good times indeed. NCKA will always be my band of brothers and I expect all of you to come down for a little hunting, fishing or just relaxing.

Hope we can get together again on my next trip to the bay area.

I, like many others I suspect, have never met Bill. Be that as it may I'd still like to say Thanks to "Papa Bill" for all the great things NCKA has become and has meant to so many people,

Good Luck in Texas,

I can recall maybe the third time I fished San Mateo Cty, after getting a nice ling in the boat I (as a relative newb to being social on the water) found myself drfting over a steady rockfish bite with Mooch, Bill, Hat trick aka CPKayak, and ChuckE. I was pretty stoked to be part of such a group.


So, I guess now we'll know where to base the "NCKA Redfish cookoff" eh?

Thank you for this little thing you created Bill.

Best wishes in the new land!
