AND SO IT BEGINS

When I found out I was relocating to LA for work, I asked around the AZ fishing forums and this was the #1 recommended place.

You guys can be a tough crowd, but I'm really happy to be here.

I drifted in from the outer banks....after my second rebuild on my outboard couldn't find a woman to marry with an Evenrude...with no government funding and was peddling to get by I thought padding might be more fun....the rest is history in the makings......

I was fishing an epic LJ squid tail bite w my buddy on our 20' Mako. We ended up whacking four biggies inc a five two. A yak dude goes by towed off towards the horizon screaming to his buddies "see you guys in a bit". I'm like, I gotta get me some of that action.

Woah. I don't know if that would be the thrill of a lifetime or if it would scare me to death....

I was active on Plastic Navy, Kayak Fishing Mafia, and Kayak4Fish sites. Those seemed to die down or disappear.

Stumbled across this site in 2006.

Always glad to see an ol' school BWE member post up every now and then.

Interesting how BWE member personalities have changed over the years. I don't recall as much drama back in the day.

It's all Mr. Patrick's fault. One day I was drift fishing out in LJ in my kayak and he came by and asked if I was signed up on BWE. I said no but that I did browse the sight and he said you should sign up. After I did and was finally able to access more pictures and it let me post, it happened to be the day after I caught a 5' Mako and got some pictures. It was my first post. It is my Avatar. Thanks for the recommendation Mr. Patrick.

The first kayak forum I found out about was Plastic Navy. I forget the guy's name that started it, fished with him in the bay a few times. Not many kayak fishermen in those days, mostly fished from longboards in North County. We did not necessarily want to put our favorite fishing or surf spots on the internet. Here's a couple videos from the pre-GoPro days.

These and kayaksportfishing.com for the Malibu-based types.

BAYTUBERS can't even remember last time I was on that,site smh

Yakfishing.com back around 2000 was the biggest SD based, but were heavy handed in censoring out the mention of any other site and Greg, Corey and Al started a simple format here just like the old archived kayaksportfishing.com and Jim's Kayak4fish.com killed that site as everyone left.
