So, I'd like to make a suggestion:  Instead of posting a teaser regarding your pix or posts or articles, and then a link to your separate website, why not use the old "cut and paste" method, and make the complete post right here on NCKA

And you're still just posting a teaser and directing people to your blog.   :smt011

Thanks Polepole, I missed this post.  And Mako, it seems you missed the point.  We welcome you here and hope you'll be 'part of' NCKA.  Constantly trying to rope people over to a separate site is neither courteous nor ethical IMHO.  If you have any questions or concerns, you can reply to me directly on this post, or by replying to my PM (kinda been waiting for a reply, hope I get one soon?)

Respectfully

Nice fish, MS.  Looked like you horsed it a little (reeling against the fight), and you could definitely use a net!   :smt001

If you make it out to the Pacific Coast maybe someone from the club can show you how to more effectively fight and land fish of that quality and better.

And before formerly known as scallen he was known as bushy (isn't that what he wrote?) so it's full circle.
