Hi Yakers:
 Shout out to my NCKA friends.  :smt006I'm too sick to
Kayak . Visited my family in San Diego and now living in Vallejo. Glad I had the time of my
life fishing with the NCKA Tribe.

Best wishes to you Ernie. Keep up the Good fight Brutha. Glad to see you posting. Hear for support. It really made me feel proud to post when I had a loved one pass. The support here is very warming and helped me through a emotional time. Hope you can still make it to some events and hang out. :smt006
Sincerely Alex

Glad to hear that you are alive Ernie! Been too long. I remember when you had that halibut on the deck of your kayak at the Davenport Derby!!!
Take care and our prayers are with you.

Ernie,
You were the 1st person in NCKA I ever met OTW.
'05, Santa Cruz derby where Alien hooked that 32lb hali.
I'll never forget how nice you were, and it snow balled from there.
Support is here brother.
Sending good vibes your way.

Good luck to you!  Don't let PD slow you down.  Freddie Roach has it and he keeps on training boxers like Manny Pacquiao.

Nice to hear from you bruddah. It's been a long time since I've seen a post from you. Sorry about the PD and I'm glad you're doing fine. Just hang in there and if you ever need anything, just give me a shout. I am only 30-45 minutes away from you. Take care buddah.

Regardless of the reason, it is wonderful to hear from you Ernie. One of the original OG's!

Glad to hear that you are alive Ernie! Been too long. I remember when you had that halibut on the deck of your kayak at the Davenport Derby!!!
Take care and our prayers are with you.

Dude, that was one of Ernie's shining moments. You decided to go big or go home...you went home alright...with the 1st place trophy.

Ernie,
You were the 1st person in NCKA I ever met OTW.

That was where Ernie had all those really nice wooden handline spools for the kids. You are a class act Ernie, and your impact on the tribe is still apparent...as evidenced by all of these replies.

Take care bruddah.
