Kayak article in Tide magazine

[MatthewP]

Just read my July/August issue of Tide magazine. Was scanning the table of contents when I spied a photo of a gray perception with the Orvis bucket strapped to the back. Thought I'd seen photos of that yak fisherman before. Turns out to be an article by our very own Sam Riley, Shaun Ruge, and Ray Avitable. Great piece guys. Loved it.

[Ray]

Thanks. CCA/Tide has been looking for more NE articles, so I proposed the one you see. I may follow it up with a how-to kayak fishing article. More details on boat selection, rigging, technique, safety.......

I'm thinking of an article about the Derby too.

Oh crap, someone saw it...(#$118)

Thanks...

Ray will begin his lecture series and book signing at Borders in Downtown Crossing (Boston) on Friday between 12 and 1pm so bring your copy!!:brow Light refreshments will be served.

The article we submitted was 2x as long as the one published. We had a lot of fun writing it. Shaun put in quite the effort, and Sam had lots of good pics.

I'm taking reservation for the signing Friday, call my publisist. Tequila shooters and popcorn will be served

[SamRiley]

Bunch of incoherent rambling...

[MatthewP]

I agree that more NE are needed. That's why I was pscyhed to see you guys get published. I like reading "Tide", but so much of it seems to involve fishing that I don't do on a regular basis. I'm sure that it's hard to publish something that will keep everyone happy. Seems pretty heavily focused on SE and Texas fishing, though, from the content to the advertisements.

[Ray]

I agree, TIDE is significantly geared towards the southern fisheries. But then again, something like 75% of the CCA membership is located between TX and FL. Advertising $$ allow for publication.

Just got my Tide Mag in the mail...

Ray, Sam and RUGE. Cool stuff. Great seeing you guys in there.
SAm's right though..shoulda been tighter structure w/ a little more parrallel construction! ;)

[Ray]

Thanks,

I asked the photog to get my good side, but he said there is only so much you can do with photoshop --127-3-

Great Job Guys! I think this may be the fastest growing sport in America. --127-3-

[G-Man]

That's great guys.
I wish I had the article to read.
I trust you told the world the only correct kayak is a sit-in. :)
Just kidding.

What is required to get a signed copy..or any copy of the article? ;)
Did they send you an electronic version?

G-Man it may be difficult to even communicate with the new celebrities in this forum. Only us little people will be chatting

Never forget your roots.....at least thats what I keep telling Ray when he leaves after his makup and fitness trailer can't fit in any of our usual launch spots...

As for getting a copy, if you join CCA they will send you the current copy, and ever other month there after...

Never forget your roots.....at least thats what I keep telling Ray when he leaves after his makup and fitness trailer can't fit in any of our usual launch spots...

Don't forget is wardrobe of impeccably tailored Brooks Brothers foul weather gear. I swear he looks a good two feet taller in that red number.... it's the cloths that make the man after all :D

[Ray]

If anyone wants a copy of the issue I have a box full at my house. I can mail them out. Just send me a PM with your address.

Signed copies are $120 each. Contractually I can only sign them with Green "fine" shapies. Please contact my public relations office to arrange for signed copies. I'll be in NYC doing the TODAY show tomorrow, so it may be a while until I can sign one :rolleyes:

[G-Man]

Haha..funny stuff.

Get this...
I do a google search for "cca tide".
The first 2 hits are:
"Reel-Time Forums - Ruge in CCA's Tide magazine!"

Like we don't hear about that guy enough!! --125-3

This story will be headlines for weeks!
Say goodbye to the simple life gentlemen. :rolleyes:

[Todd Benedict]

Ray I work in NYC I'll stop by for the signed copy. Do you take a check or Master Card? Is there a reel-timer discount or if I bring my own green sharpie???

Don't think that the RT sticker on your yak went unnoticed, Shaun (even if we could only see half of it).

Welcome to 'zine publishing. Cutting down on article length is standard industry practice, although the extent to which they do it varies amongst publishers. Usually the end result is better than the original manuscript, although occasionally I wonder after the edit whether I actually wrote the article in the first place!
