AKFF - LEAVING THE MOD TEAM (SNIFF SNIFF)

An end of an era, well it feels like one anyway...

One thing about websites and blogs is it gives the writer the chance to combine mood with substance, or for a better term feel. Lately I have had to make one of the hardest decisions I have had to make it a long time, it involved turning my back on my family and walking away. Yes I dont mean my real, real family but most of the time they were pretty close. After months of pondering and wondering if my commercial relationship would stand the test of time on the AKFF moderating team I decided to leave a wonderfull chapter in my life due to conflict of interest.

It took a long time for me to realise that it was time to move on and certain past issues came back to haunt me, I was finding myself guilty by association. This in turn had negative effects on AKFF in general and more on my ability to speak my mind. I was holding myself back and found I felt alone and insecure, it wasnt really their fault and it wasnt mine (The time it seems had just come).

I will always remain a member on AKFF and still to this day browse back and forth among its many pages. I will still also reccomend it to people who enquire about kayak fishing and are looking for information ( No denying its a powerfull resource ) but one thing I wont be doing is adding my two cents in to how its run. Its not run wrong, its just not worth me commenting further on my perception on what AKFF as I have chosen to have no public opinion on the matter.

Distancing myself hurts but all in all its for the best, I have had some amazing times with the AKFF admin team and its members themselves and feel like I have made a decent contribution to the website. I know they have had a tremendous impact on where I am now and where I want to be, my goals have changed but the goal posts remain the same. In the same breath I wish to apologise to sponsors, friends, family and all at AKFF for any confusion that may have occured during my appointment on the admin team.
