AnglersAfloat RNLI and
Kayak
Fishing Demo Day
AnglersAfloat
is proud to announce the AnglersAfloat meets the RNLI event at
the Imperial Ground, Shelly Beach, Exmouth, Devon, weekend of 17th
May, a day of awareness for both the RNLI and kayak fishermen, with
rescue demos throughout the day.
At present
the Ocean Kayak range along with Hobie's Mirage Drive Kayaks and Wilderness
Systems Demo fleet will be available for trial on the 17th May
but we hope others may be there. Local kayak businesses and tackle suppliers
will all be on hand with a range of equipment for the kayak fisherman.
Raffle tickets
will be on sale during the event with all proceeds going to the RNLI,
amongst the prizes, is a top prize of an Ocean Kayak Caper sit-on-top,
complete with PFD and paddle.
Sunday
18th May will give all visitors with their own kayak a chance to fish
a catch and release kayak fishing tournament, an entry fee will
be charged, all monies being donated to the RNLI, this event is open to
all regardless of level of experience, you don't need to be an expert
to compete, the idea being to have lots of fun, catch a few fish and learn
from others, but most importantly raise lots of money for the RNLI.
We
would like to thank forum members John and Helen for all their hard work
in organising this event.

about having a go at kayak fishing
You might like to read our new Getting Started Guide, click here.
If
this is your first visit, welcome to Anglers Afloat.
Whether you're
thinking about kayak fishing, already doing it, or just interested this
site is a great place to start. Many experienced fishermen and women find
kayak fishing a great way to boost their catch rate.
If you're
new to kayak fishing or would like to know more, check out our project
page. You'll find plenty of useful advice about the accessories available,
rod mounts, where to position them, fitting your fishfinder, GPS, anchors,
compasses and leashes.
Please take
a moment to read the safety page, it may influence you in your purchase
of a kayak and the gear that you have onboard.
Most of the
major manufacturers are now selling their products in the UK, giving all
a bigger and more difficult choice, there will also be more accessories
available with some of the manufacturers expanding their product lines.
We will be continuing our project series, developing some of the projects
that all ready appear, there will be more product reviews and a revised
pictures page including more of your kayaks and catches, so please keep
the pictures coming.
Your feedback
is really helpful, so if you already fish from a kayak we would love to
hear from you.
