Well said, Eric.  I am not sure what happened and really don't care but I'm sad to see the negativity and folks leaving... 

I don't get how people get so worked up over kayak fishing.  The most relaxing activity on the planet.

+5 - which is why I shy away from competitive sports.

+7 - I fish for fun, not for competition.  It's a shame some guys have lost sight of that.

+8  :smt011 :smt012 :smt013 :smt009 :smt010

Wonder if GS 5 is going to happen?

Eric, Just quit the AOTY BS and come back for the intrinsic rewards,
and if others don't like your methods tell em to eat sh!t. :smt002

I can't speak to what lead up to this but will say that Eric is a fine person and I will continue to make the journey to Shelter Cove As long as Eric and Dominic are there. At this point in my life, it is much more about friendships and the adventure and not about who catches the biggest fish. As others have said, kayak fishing is one of the greatest hobies on earth. The drama is our doing. NCKA is what we make it to be. Enough said.

Agreed but unfortunately it's not a perfect world. The site is growing and with it, personalities will surely clash at some point. This is when moderators have the thankless job of trying to set things straight. Imagine if we still had skygreen and Brendan posting here? The mods can't make everyone happy but we can try to weed out repeat offenders to keep the peace and sanity.

Prepare for more "negativity" in the future (especially when the winter comes. Everyone in venting out cause the weather sucks and the fishing tends to be slow) all I can say is "stay the course". NCKA is a great site ONLY because of it's members.

Well said Scott.  Unfortunately the following quote is attributed to Rodney King and not a great philosopher:  "Why can't we all just get along".

Scott, this was clearly a freudian nod to your desire for a Hobie.   :smt044  You can take my Adventure anytime - I'll be lucky to use it 7-8 times this year.

People, NCKA ≠ Thunderdome.  Two man enter one man leave, WTH?  Lighten up everyone sheez.

In other news, to prepare for the San Pablo opener, EBMUD planted 18K lbs of trout, each of them dumber than cat$hit.  If that doesn't spring your noodle, then you just ain't alive.

Sorry fellas,  I gotta laugh.  I have no idea what this is about.......and don't really want to. 

jeez, we're just a bunch of guys that likes to fish from plastic boats............not the United Nations.  My good friend in the hospital right now who is facing his maker would love to have this problem.  Put it in perspective.
