Used to love reading fishing reports from todaymueller in UK.  Wonder what'd happened to him?

Cafe Craig. Forgot all about that guy. Cool dude. I liked him a lot.
What ever happened to him?

I fished ARW with him in 2010. He said he was working more and didn't fish much anymore. He was fearless in the surf and a heck of an angler.

At the rockfish opener at Bean Hollow, June 2008, I think only CafeCraig made it out.

Big J?
Big Janice stopped fishing saltwater in 09 i think.  Dont know if she still fishes fw. She sure was nice. I think i bought most of her salty gear back in 09. Hope to see heron the forum again

Peace & blessings!
Janice is still on the forum, although she doesn't kayak anymore.

Big J is doing well. I talked to her the FW ARW in 2012 and at another event a couple of months ago. She is doing well and raising her grand daughter who is about 8 years old. She is still on the forum, just doesn't fish.

Absolutely.  We paddled out side by side my first time in the salt, at Bean, into fog and thru surf...  I was scared half to death, heart in my throat and eyes as big as saucers, but he looked over and calmly and cheerfully said, "This is fun, huh!?"  and everything was ok.  Pivotal moment for me.

That is an awesome pic, Scott.

I'm still a frequent lurker, but I don't get out on the yak much these days. The fly fishing is so productive that it's tough to justify a trip on the yak. Somehow reeling in a rainbow trout on the yak seems like a let down after reeling in sturgeon, halibut and lingcod back in California.

I really miss fishing the salt with you guys!  :smt006

The crab hoop I got from you is still hauling in rock crabs. I still have to rope a Dino on the lasso you gave me though
