Given all other SoCal kayak fishing websites are no longer around, I feel we should try hard to keep BWE on-line. There's a ton of history here. There is a ton of great dope shared here, all first hand. These annoying ads provide just about enough $$ to pay for hosting; I'll keep doing my best to keep it up and running.

Thank you for maintaining the site. Lots of nostalgia here -- historical accomplishments and great memories! The annoying adds serve a good purpose. Perhaps Baytubers should do the same.

I posted alot there before BWE.
I believe Sonny was the moderator. It came to an end I heard Sonny moved to Hawaii but I could be wrong.

I just saw this.

I agree with all the thanks from the above posts.

I always felt welcomed to the shop and given help and reasonable prices.

Wishing all the best to everyone that made this site possible. I hope it continues.

With my deepest regards,

Andy & Brent,

Thanks for everything you guys did to introduce me and many others to this incredible sport.

And thanks Adi for keeping this site alive, so many great memories and fishing accomplishments to celebrate on this site.

Bitter sweet. End of an irreplaceable era for sure, but I know you guys are stoked for your next chapters in life.

Andy, I?m blessed with the time we spent together on the water, the other misc adventures we had, and many great conversations. I?m very thankful for you brother. I was a lost kid in my 20?s when I got into this, and kayak fishing kept me grounded and out of trouble (for the most part). You had a big part in that, and were a great example of what a stand up guy looks like. There are a lot of guys that ended up fishing from Tupperware that owe a lot to you.

Best to all of you. Thanks for keeping it rolling.
