Please help me bring some of NCKA's stories to the wider kayak fishing world

Friends, in all my past media stops I've enjoyed writing about NCKA. This crew is the real deal, as hardcore as kayak anglers come.

I've landed a new gig, to launch a widely distributed large format national kayak fishing magazine. We aim to be more than a typical fishing rag, and hope to show the sport as you've never seen it photographed.

Will you help me bring some of NCKA's stories to the wider kayak fishing community? Allen S. told me he's cool with this posting. Thank-you Allen.

I'm looking for stories and photos of your trophy catches, pictures and the back story behind your killer custom rigging, any local records you've broken with your kayak catches, and news of your upcoming events. Please PM me here for more details. Some of these are paid submissions; others would be eligible for a merchandise prize.

There's one more need, a delicate one. The community best learns safety lessons from those who've gotten in too deep and survived to tell the tale. Please consider sharing your survival stories. Please, only the person who escaped from the perilous situation should respond. I have no desire to stir up ghosts.

Thanks for reading - hope to see you again on the water sometime.

Paul

It sounds like everything your asking for is already on here.search the forum and pm the author 

   That's great Paul.      They have the right man for this position.   I wish you well in this new endeavor.     PM  Mooch. he'll set you on the right story.

Very Interesting - Good Luck
Will there be kayak based freediving / spear fishing too? A lot of our members do both, often in the same trip or dive alongside rod & reelers. We even had a kayak freedivers vs kayak fishermen tournament ( Top to Bottom Tournament ) this summer

Get them first hand, Some want to lay low especially those that had stuff go wrong and shied away from media and attn... Respecting those folks will go a long way. I'll try to see if anything besides a skunk riding with me most of the time is page worthy Good luck

Very cool. Will spread the word to the team. We are doing our best to get great photo and video, as well as put together epic yak fishing missions.

Thats great Paul! I wish you well. Pay attention to the stories not the brands or the shops.

Absolutely.

Thanks all.

That's always been my policy. It's how I'd want to be treated. I fully respect those who wish to leave bad news in the past. One thing I can promise. Those who share stories won't have them sensationalized or twisted out of context. It's your story, not mine. I have never betrayed a source or a confidence, and never shall.

Pay attention to the stories not the brands or the shops.

We're trying. We've got a fresh start, and much more separation between editorial and ad sales than I've enjoyed elsewhere. I know that we have to earn trust. Credibility is easily lost. We expect to be called out on BS, but by that time, it's already too late.

There could be, if kayak based free divers want to talk. I've been doing this a long time. Even after working hand in hand with the free dive community during SoCal's MLPA nightmare (our two groups brought most of the grassroots heat), the divers I know almost universal enforce a code of silence. I understand it's because the carrying capacity is so much lower.
