Each meeting generally consists of the sharing of "fishing stories" with the group and a presentation by a guest speaker on a selected fishing topic. Past presentations have been on fishing techniques and equipment, targeting specific species of fish found in central Florida as well as boat and equipment maintenance. In addition, many meetings have "hands on" learning seminars to improve fish skills of bait rigging, tackle set-up, and other fishing techniques to sharpen your skills. Annually we hold an auction of donated or purchased fishing related equipment, supplies, trips and merchandise. This auction not only raises funds for the club but it also represents a great opportunity to purchase items at great prices. The money raised is used to fund research, artificial reef projects, and scholarships.

The club also hosts several fun tournaments during the year for both inshore and offshore fishing. A major event is the annual Memorial Day tournament from Port Canaveral. During the year each angler has the ability to enter fish into a year long fishing contest and at year end an awards banquet is held to recognize accomplishments. We also sponsor a sea food social that is a great way to learn how to prepare and cook the fish we catch.

One of the special features of the club is a members fishing trip. In past years we have gone as a club to the Keys or selected fishing ports in the Bahamas for a week of great fishing and great friendship.

Everyone is welcome to join so see you at our next meeting
