The Tampa Bay Chapter of Heroes on the Water held its first event this past Saturday at beautiful Fort Desoto Park, St Petersburg Florida. Our honored guest for the day was Don Floyd and his wife Donna. Don retired from the US Army in 1999. He saw one of our flyers at the VA and decided to give us a call. I’m sure glad he did. While this fishing was not all that great, I do believe our guests had a great time out on the water.

It's our birthday and we'll throw a contest if we wont to! That's right YakAngler your ultimate kayak fishing resource turns two years old today. It's hard to imagine that we've only been at this for that long... Trust us it feel like allot longer! And what better way for us to celebrate our birthday than by giving away something cool! This time we are changing it up and running this contest on our Facebook page, something we're calling the YakAngler Tag Birthday Contest.  Here's how it works...

This past Columbus Day weekend the Kayak Fishing Radio and YakAngler Crew invaded Charleston, South Carolina. We all arrived Friday afternoon at the KOA in Mount Pleasant and after some unpacking and setting up we headed over to the Charleston Angler for the captains meeting for the Redfishville Shootout which benefits Heroes on the Water. There was a nice turn out and it was nice to meet some of the locals. The guys at Kayak Fish SC gave us some tips on the Copahee Sound which would be our fishing grounds for the next day.
