SWFKAA Tournament Results
The Southwest Florida Kayak Angler’s Association “Spring Snook and Redfish Challenge” is in the record books. On May 12, 2012, some of the area’s finest anglers competed in windy conditions for great prizes, including the first place Native Ultimate 12 kayak.
Winter Fishing Tactics
The winter season is upon us here in Southwest Florida. This can be a great time of year to fish from the kayak. During the winter months we deal with cold fronts, negative low tides, windy days and cold water temperatures. These conditions can be tough, and I wanted to share my thoughts on a few techniques, lure choices and the best times to be on the water for the top four targeted species in my region - snook, redfish, speckled (or spotted) trout, and flounder.
Kayak Fishing The Sound
When people around here think of Pine Island Sound they think of crystal clear flats, big fish and high powered inshore boats. When I think of the sound what comes to mind isn’t high powered outboards but instead I think of silently paddling up to a school of tailing redfish.
Estero Bay Kayak Fishing Action
“There are no fish in Estero Bay”. That was always the tongue in cheek answer given by the locals when asked, “Where was a good place to fish in the bay”. I have been fishing Estero Bay for around 20 years with varying results, but I can tell you now, the fish are back!
Paddle your way to the Calusa Blueway Festival
The event celebrates the Great Calusa Blueway, Southwest Florida’s 190-mile paddling trail, which meanders from Bonita Springs to Pine Island Sound and up the Caloosahatchee River, and was named for the Calusa Indians.
Festivities include canoe and kayak races, a kayak fishing tournament and paddling clinics, as well as other assorted fun for the whole family.
