We are a group of anglers in the central Florida Area who fish from kayaks in fresh and salt water.
Every month we hold a meeting and we feature a guest speaker to educate and entertain. In the past we have had many guest speakers such as Captain Tom Van Horn from Coastal Angler, Captain Chris Myers, Captain Jim Ross, Captain Rodgers from the Hawgwild Show, Rick from the Snook Foundation, Rod Price with the Friends of the Wekiva, Mary Carswell the kayak instructor amongst others.
They have covered subjects ranging from kayaking technique, conservation, instructions on using specific lures & retrieval techniques all the way to the methods to locate predatory fish in the lagoon system.
After the seminar we always cover a few club topics and also introduce any new club members. We finish the meetings with a free-for-all chaos of simultaneous fishing discussions.
We have partnered up with Patrick Nichols who is a ACA certified instructor to offer regular classes for a great rate.
If you are interested in being placed on the list please email methen I will see if we can then gather enough people to merit a class. You can download the class syllabus by clicking on the following links.
Introduction to kayaking and a quick start guide to your kayak
Please welcome our guest, Captain Tom Van Horn who will be discussing shad and crappie fishing as we prepare for our February 25th OKFC/Shad & Crappy Derby tournament.
Besides guiding, Captain Tom is a staff writer with Coastal Angler Magazine, and he writes weekly fishing reports and monthly fishing forecast about fishing the east central Florida coast.

The entire team at Mosquito Creek Outdoors in Apopka have been strong supporters of our club.
Rory, Captain Tom Van Horn, Captain Chris Myers and the entire staff have always made us feel welcomed, offered free access to their facility for our meetings, great seminars and help us in some way with many of our club sponsored events.
We are a no dues club and this support is very appreciated. Kirk and Fred have personally experienced their highly refined skills, knowledge and professionalism as guides in the lagoon. It is for these reason that we put the OKFC seal of approval and recommend any club member to utilize their services
