We gather monthly for meetings, trips and tournaments in promoting kayaking and fishing in addition to other fishing, outdoors, community and family-oriented events. The club began meeting at Pack and Paddle in 2007 and in 2008 established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit growing to 60 members by the end of 2009. We hold regular club meetings at Pack and Paddle on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6 PM. Come learn when, where and how to safely fish for redfish, speckled trout, flounder, bass and panfish.
