SEKFC (South East Kayak Fishing Club) (Not SFKFC)

[Yak-Attack]

We are meeting April 26th at 7:00 PM at kayak Jeff's. Everyone is welcome to come who paddles or is thinking about getting into paddle fishing. We had a good turn out last month and I hope its even bigger this month as the sport continues to grow larger each month.

My guest speaker had to cancel but promised to return next month when he had time.

So we are going to talk about places to launch your yak from. Please bring in a picture of your favorite place to put in if you can or just let us know about the launch site. Tell us the pros & cons of launching there.

Send me an email if you need directions or have questions.

Sorry cant make it,
how about Kayak Fishing Club meeting?

[Yak-Attack]

Sorry guys, I have not had time to set up a good meeting and last month the wind messed up the day in Boynton Beach. I will be gone the Thursday we should have the meeting June 28th, but I could meet next Thursday the 21st if anyone wants to meet at Jeff's as long as he is ok with it. I need a little help on topics from you guys I know we all want to get out on the water for a day of fishing as a group ( I know I do!!! ) but we need some good topics or a guest speaker to come in and talk. Luii, you said you could get some girl to come in and teach recue and safty stuff. How about you give her a call and we set up something one Thursday. I would like to keep the safty topics going as well as the fishing ideas. I'm open for suggestions from anyone and please tell more people about the group, I know that Jeff turned two people onto it. I'll call Jeff today & see what his plans are for June 21st. Lets keep this thing going so we can have a fish off against the other clubs this summer or fall.

Later,
