New Guy

My name is Nic, I manage the produce dept. at Smart & Final in Encinitas and Im also a pro-photographer. I mostly shoot people (weddings, editorial, kids) if it pays I'll shoot it.

Im brand spanking new, so new I don't even have a kayak yet. I've been lurking for a little while reading as much as I possibly can for the time being. Rik at OEX twisted my arm and made me throw down some dough on a trident 15. I should have it in a few weeks and hopefully out fishing before too long. Maybe buy a water housing for my camera and shoot some of you guys for the mags?

Born and raised in the north county (vista, oside, carlsbad) been hunting and fishing since I could tag along with my dad. Mostly fish in the ocean nowadays and between 2 and 5 day trips. I've been wanting a kayak for about 6 yrs now but something always seems to have come up. Married for 7 years now, 2 labs a choc and a white one. No kids, there are too many fish to catch.

Anyways, this forum appears as the one to be on.... hopefully I'll have something to contribute before long.

Twisted your arm to buy a yak?

Give it a couple months, you will be thanking him...

Welcome to the mayhem, and next time I'm in your store, kick down a discount...

cmon Josh,

people can learn a thing or two.

Also, it's a wonderful place to brag!

Welcome to BWE Nic
Yes brag! But don't brag too often because that’s how it all starts. And next thing you know the bragging turns into a caca storm of accusations. You will find yourself under the bus so fast you won't know what ran you over. Words freely get flung around like, baby killer, catch n release, too much fish in the freezer, over fishing, fish population decrease, and so on.


But for the most part, these discussions are done in a reasoning manner on this board. A lot good people on this board as you will find out real quickly. Welcome!

Congrats! The trident is an awesome yak. You will love it. I purchased mine right before christmas and I have been out over 30 times on it.

Enjoy it!
