Welcome aboard Scott. Let's have some fun!

If any newbies want to tag along with someone with a little experience, I'm willing to show you around

Now THAT is true NCKA spirit  I salute Pole Pole and Frankfishing for their actions! I wish you both plenty of good karma 

As for myself, my Chemo theraphy was cancelled today (due to a slight cold) so I will pay my way in to support the cause but I may not paddle out. Getting sick right now is the last thing I need - chemo puts my immune system at an all time low

Anyway, I will try to show up on Sunday to see my NCKA family   You guys and gals are my cure

Hi,
Is there room for another newbie? Just pulled the trigger for a T-13, and it's ready for some fish blood. I've kayaked lakes a few times in a sit-in, but no ocean experience. Have farmerjohn/pfd/etc, but waiting for the vhf to arrive.
Thanks for all the great info on this site. It really helped in deciding what to buy.

Allen, Your on Budddy! Just name it.   Fortunes,wives or first born! Let the games begin..... Wait a minute I'll take back the first born part! Been there done that!

If you win, my newbie will wash down your gear.  If I win, your newbie will wash down my gear.  HAH!!!

Also, I've got my two guest passes to the Mbay Aquarium if anyone wants to occupy their non-yakking partner/kids while the tourney is underway.  Aquarium is only couple miles south of MBK.

Hey...I didn't sign up forf washing down gear!

There you go dude, the winning attitude. Your fishing with a top notch guy Materalus!!

Looking forward to sunday!

Hey...I didn't sign up forf washing down gear!

Materalus, I love your Avatar or is that Misdirection! Guys like your guild get paid pretty well for taking people out. Me I am just a poorly amateur who is always swimming more then fishing. I have the only Kayak in the NCKA with a handicap sticker and rather then the regular handles you'll find that on my Kayak, mine are made from stainless steel that you find in showers that help us older folks from slipping in the bath.  
I will say that I am proud that when I have to relieve myself (which is all the time because of inconstant nature of my age) I can usually tell you what the bottom structure is like in twenty feet of water.

Hey Frank -
