Don't know all the details but my best friend and kayak fishing mentor Moodymike passed Friday.  He left behind his 3 year old daughter Emi.  He was a great angler, father and musician.  We shared alot of time together. We would go bass fishing on San Pablo, work the reefs of HMB, write music together.  So hard to lose him. 

I always value my time with friends and family, lost Dad and Mom already, this one is super hard, but like a good soldier I keep walking forward, pick em up put em down chop wood carry water.

God Bless

thanks Herb we had some good times back in the day.  Never forget those 'bluebird days' as Mike called em.  When we were sitting on flat water hooking up rocky after rocky.

Really sorry to hear that.
I always liked the reports you guys would kick out.

RIP Moodymike, you are fishing with some real OGs now.

Agreed. It seems like any time you posted a report he was right there with you. Sorry for your loss.
