Hello, all my Name is Myrel I am new to kayaking and got one so I could use it as a dive platform for Freediving and Scuba. I have been diving for abs for quite a few years along the Sonoma and Mendaceno costs. It is a lot easer to cross kelp in a yak than swiming.  Anyone from the board going to ocean cove the 30th?

Welcome to the board.


We have a similar background with the abs, scuba and that is why I bought my yak too.
After reading some reports and meeting some NCKAers you'll be fishing off it to especially when the via is crap.

I'll be up at Van Damme for labor day weekend so maybe we'll hookup another time. 


Good luck at Oceancove.

I thought that was you Myrel.  Welcome to the board.  There are a great bunch of people here as well as a wealth of kayak fishing info.  Not to mention enough reports to make one jealous.

Thanks for the welcome Amadeo I noticed your pic with the WSB and said wait I have seen that pic before. Looked and noticed it was you.  I ran into Mooch when I was looking at yaks and he said I should check out this fourm.

"HandleCoping NO!

Did he tell you that it's not Cool, Nice or Polite to steal, copy or tweek a handle ALREADY  being used?"

No he never mentioned it as I recall  :smt012  Now that I think about it a little when I told him the name I use on SB he snickered a little I think.  Sorry to have caused you to have an identity crises.  Hope my new name meets your approval.

Welcome aboard, Myrel!  I'm glad you changed your handle so Adam's underwear might now get extricated from his crack - anyone have access to some "Jaws of Life"?...   :smt003

Hey FunnyGuyEric,They have been extricated and all is back to normal(but maybe not the jaws)!


I thanked Myrel in the form of a pm and gave him an official NCKA "WTTM"....now I'm backtracking/removing all the bad things that spewed out of my finger tips.

Thanks for making the change fishSticker....you're a stand up man!  :smt002

Sure FisHunter feel free.  Thanks for the welcome.  Here is a pic. I was going to put up.

I will have to work on having duller knives though, can you see the blood in the right corner.  :smt002

I thought you had come down a little hard on the guy but of course I didn't know all of the specifics so I kept my trap shut.  

Way to be a stand up guy yourself Adam by deleting all that was said.  Admitting a mistake is a hard thing for a lot of people to do.  Very commendable.

Fishsticker... Welcome to the Madness. 

I kind of enjoyed how you playfully dealt with Fishunter's Temporary state of insanity.... now we all know what buttons to push.  :smt002  Thanks for taking it like a champ and not getting all wounded (except for possibly a knife wound to your lip)... you're going to fit in very well around here.

Hey FunnyGuyEric,They have been extricated and all is back to normal(but maybe not the jaws)!

 :smt044  Oh, those nasty crack-jaws!  Always good to avoid those.   :smt002

Way to weather the mini-Abstorm, Adam.  All in the name of welcoming a new madONE - and a bad-ass addition he looks to be - with a stinkin' Excalibur style sword in the famed FisHunter pose.  The guy doesn't appear to be messing around!  Nice work, Myrel. 

Adam, I too am glad we didn't witness "the deep-end of no return"!!!   :smt003

It's all good!   :smt001
