So it's official ... I'm moving back to NorCal.  While I'd prefer to stay in the the NW, I got a promotion at work that requires me to be in NorCal full time.  I look forward to re-kindling the friendships I have my fishing buddies here and seeing many of you on the water.  Expect me to increase my participation here in this great kayak fishing community.

Cheers!

-Allen

Pole- your work is lucky to have you & obviously you've got some good fishing buddies down here.
I know you'll miss having your home base in SEA, but least it's not all that far away - like, say, Brooklyn -
WELCOME BACK!
Catch & Repeat

Just because I'm moving back doesn't mean I won't be fishing AK and BC.  I'll be up there every year until I'm dead.  Just say when Adam, and you'll be there too!!!

Hey Allen, i've never met you but, a few years back, you ran into my fishing partner Amir at ft. ross and told him about ncka. He told me and so you are somewhat to blame for my maddness.

                         thanks and welcome back.       jack.

I remember that day.  I had a good day on reds and lings I believe.  And Amir wanted in on the action!!!  I'm happy to be the blame for your madness.   :smt004  I'll see both you up there next season, ok?

Yep Eric, I have it on "my list" to fish up there with you in 2009.  Funny thing, I'm closer in San Jose to some of my NWKA homies, like boxofrain in Brooking, than I am when I live in Seattle.  I might finally get to fish with some of them too.   :smt003
