Hi everyone!

Excited to be a part of the NCKA community  :smt003 Been creeping on the forum in the darkness and figured it's high time to join the madness :smt044

I don't have a kayak yet but the addiction has already set in. Shorefishing for perch is getting boring and often I find myself staring out at the missed opportunities beyond the breakers...the fish are calling and I must go! (Can't you hear them?) Keeping my eye out for the right yak deal but am having trouble being patient  :smt005

Hope to see some of you out there! You can identify me out on the sand (and soon on the water) by my "I <3 the Metric System" trucker hat. You can also identify me by my face:

Yes it's real. My husband loves it  :smt004

Kinda a harsh welcoming phrase...  I'm guessing you mean it as a bent rod, and not in the Bart Simpson way that most people know?



Anyway, welcome to the madness, Specimanic!

Your guess is correct. Why would anyone be a dick to someone they never had any interaction with?

I preferred the ambiguity.  I mean, I was pretty sure that you were telling someone to go fishing and catch a bass/lingcod/giant rock on bottom and fight it for 15 minutes liek it was the biggest fish in history/etc.

But there was always that creeping thought that maybe, just maybe, we had another resident asshole in the makings.  Sigh.
