Atlanta Kayak Fishing club

[Capt Cefus]

Coach and I were invited by Pescador to attend the monthly meeting of the AKF last night.   Two plus's were immediately put in their column.   It was held at Taco Mac's ---- great buffalo wings, and ice cold beverages.   And number two, it was a group of some of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet.   

Pescador ran the meeting like a true showman, and they had some great giveaway items.   I even got a great T-shirt.  Thanks! 

Now I've never been to eager to jump into or on top of a tippy kayak, but after talking to some of these folks, it's clear that I'm missing a completely unique part of the angling sport.   I know a lot of folks on the BBS board enjoy yakking too, and the ability to get into water and cast to fish that may have never seen a plug is very compelling.   So I may yet be a convert.    I'd bet the schooling stripers on Hartwell and Lanier would be much easier targets from stealthy yak, instead of twin 150's gurgling.

They have a great website, and a very informative forum.   They have a club event coming up in the spring down at Cape San Blas, and it sounds like a lot of fun. 

  If you're considering getting 'really' close to the water, a yak may be in your future.    Check them out at www.atlantakayakfishing.com    And tell 'em you're one of the Nuts and Bolts fishing nuts.  They gave me a warm welcome and I'm sure you'll get the same.

You hit the spike squarely on the head with the sledge hammer, Capt Cefus.
I was as if I were one of the group and enjoyed the meeting and speaker's demo on rigging.
I too got a fine T shirt, and my wife has taken ownership of this as soon as I walked in the door.
It was worth the drive for me. 200 miles round trip.
Gotta go to another one.
Pescador ran a smooth ship and kept it hopping.
These yakkers are serious about their sport for sure.

Many thanks guys!  We enjoyed your company!  And Coach, that was quite a haul for you to make to see a bunch of plastic boat guys and gals.  On the way home, my nephew in all the wisdom his 15 years affords him, said to me "Uncle, I wish I had a coach like Coach."

All I could say was, "Me too son."  I sure am proud of that boy!

We're glad y'all have decided to join the AKF family!  I'm looking forward to wetting a line with you ol' salts.

Pescador, You'll find Capt Cefus and Coach are some of the greatest guys around.
I just got off your site. Impressive.
If you guys ever get down to Panama City, I'll join you on the water on my yak.
