NEW TO THE SIGHT BEEN A FRIEND OF SLEDGE FOR 20YRS

+6 if we add smoking out to the list.     Seems that's a lot more common than the drinking.

This.

Wait...what?   

Hey Mike,
I'm probably not regular enough here to extend a welcome beyond my own but I fish with a bunch of these guys and look forward to hooking up with you OTW.  This thread isn't such a welcome as it is an indoctrination, nice to get that out of the way.  One of the great things I've found about the cross section of kayak anglers is the full scope of diversity among the participants.  NCKA exemplifies that, for the most part, in a harmonious gathering of people...many who probably wouldn't socialize together if not for the sport.
With all due respect to my friends and aquaintances here, the quality of your contributions defines NCKA.  Personal and social issues in a welcome thread make the ocean seem pretty small to me.
I'm so excited about crab season I'll be at Doran a day early with a bottle of bubbly and a bottle of Bubble-Up to toast the season and you all.
