Hi, by way of an introduction, I have just joined the club. My name is Dale, and I am living in the SAC area (Newcastle). I am a disabled veteran (soon to be a civilian after 22 years)who is returning to fishing after a long absence, but relatively new to kayak fishing. Hope to meet you all on the water.

Hello Dale:  Welcome to NCKA.  The best way to get to know us, is to go to a hook up.  One serious word of advice--Watch out for the A-hulls.  They will infect you with laughter and silliness.  We are coming into the best fishing time of the year in my opinion--fall.  Do you have any experience on the ocean?  See you soon, Dale.

Welcome Dale! You have found the best group of people around! Be ready to have some serious belly laughs!

Raydon,
A-Hulls? A reference to Marine Boat design, or Anatomy /Personality of certain individuals?? I suspect the latter, which is encouraging. We could all do with more laughter and silliness . I spent 14 years at sea on various commercial fishing boats and ships (USN). Currently I am using a decked 17' canoe, while I explore the kayak options. I am planning on attending the CCK seminar on Thurs, so look forward to meeting some of you guys. And Thank all of you for the warm welcome.
Dale

Welcome Dale, I too am a recently retired/disabled vet.  Although I'm new to this site I've been paddling for a while and there's nothing quite like being on the water, really calms the nerves.  I hope this sport helps you out too, looking forward to seeing your catches.

BTW, my bad for calling you Ned in the other thread.  Hadn't read your introduction yet.  Went back and changed it.  :smt001
