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.

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

For me

It started when I fished off my boat in the mid 2000's, I would see kayakers fishing Los Alamitos bay but never once thought about fishing from a kayak. I don't recall when I bought my first kayak but it was either late 2009 or mid 2010, that's right around the time that I started the Google search for kayak fishing and came across several sights, BWE seems to caught my attention and that's been my primary site since.

When I got laid off from my job at DHL I had to take a look at what assets I had and because my boat was paid off this was one of them. Having a kid in college, another in high school, a mortgage payment and making bad decisions with credit cards I had no choice but to sell my boat.........6000+ post later I'm still here.

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.

Thanks, Iceman, and the BWE mods. Good thing going on here at BWE.com!!!!! Priceless!

For me, it was scsurffishing.com and a barely legal halibut from the point at Swamis that led me to wanna get in a boat. Well, the boat turned out to be my plastic boat and the bwe got me hooked.

Blast from the past. This was my first and second YT on the trusty Scrambler XT. Note the big ol Channel Island Chovie Fish Trap on the one rod. One of the fish ate that on the sink and the other ate a blue/white Ironman #3 on the 45 degree grind. No bait and wait fishing for me or FF for quite some time. My first 2 WSB came on the same Fish Trap 7 inch Channel Island Chovie.

I joined in 2009 just to troll people.

Here's one of my first kayak fish on video... from back in the days when I fished a hobie tandem, and the dirty old scallywag wasn't yet banned from BWE hahaha
