baby news from Sac

It looks like my wife and I will be welcoming the 3rd and most beautiful member of our family into the world in late January ’08.   
Rest assured that this child will never know the trauma of being addicted to fishing and paddling late in life, they will know those joys from the start. 
Finally, I will be able to buy a snoopy pole without embarrassment…

BTW, how young is too young?  I was on the water in a canoe at 3 months old, but didn’t have my own paddle till I was 3… does anyone make a kayak paddle that small or am I going to need to make it myself?

Congrats Jim! The future of NCKA is looking brighter 

Jim and wife, wonderful news, congratulations!

3 mos sounds fine to me!  I don't know about the paddle but if you can't find one, a wood spatula might work til age 1!

See ya @ HMB!

best wishes,

craig

  thanks!
I like the wooden spatula idea!  I was hoping it would give me the excuse to buy a lathe and turn up a nice little paddle...

  Congrats Jim & Cryss, See what happens when you dont have those Ducks around to keep you entertaind.  haHaha! Can't wait to meet the little tyke.

Selfishly, I hope you have a Miss Rockfish for the Women of NCKA photo album! My granddaughter who lives with me is 15 months old and showed an appreciation for my Rapalas early. So 3 months...why not?

Congratulations, Jim and Chryss!

Janice aka "Big J"

Congratulations to you and your wife !

Personally, I'd find some Alaskan Yellow Cedar, and make up a small "Greenland" style paddle. That won't justify a new lathe, but that has good and bad points

Finally, I will be able to buy a snoopy pole without embarrassment… I've been wanting one of those in the Spiderman edition for Sabiki Rigs. Congrats on your upcoming Joy to you and especially the Wife. Frank

  a greenland paddle sounds like a good idea.
Spidey would be sweet for a sabiki rig

Thanks all, The ranks of crazy fisherpeople will grow!!!
