This weekend, kayak anglers from around the country will be driving south to escape winter’s wrath at the Fifth Annual Presidents Day Boondoggle. Their destination: the largest designated sub-tropical wildlife reserve in North America - Everglades National Park. Their goal: to make new friends in the kayak fishing community and reunite with past Boondogglers, all while fishing the wild and untouched waters near Flamingo Campground.
There are two Boondoggles each year: the Presidents Day Boondoggle, which is the “low-key” event of the year - no schedules, vendors, clinics, or raffles, just kayak anglers seeing old friends and making new ones; and the Columbus Day Boondoggle, or BoondoggleX.
Keep up with all the Boondoggle shenanigans on the Boondoggle Facebook page, the Boondoggle group page, and the YakAngler Instagram account.
