Looking forward to it again this year. The Kayak Fishing Store doods do a great job putting this event together. This will be my 3rd in attendance but the 4th annual. Always a good time. Planning on fishing nights mostly on this one for a change. Never had much luck as I rarely fish this area due to the distance away from my home base. It has become an annual thing along with the Jamboree.
What is a Jamboree? The word means a gathering. It is used in boyscouts for theyr national and world get together’s. For us its just a bunch for Kayak Anglers getting together hanging out camping eating fishing and having fun!
I am planning on arriving by noon time as i have to stop by Jersey Paddler to pick up a demo Jackson Big Tuna for a couple of veterans with service dogs to test out. The NE Florida HOW Chapter loves the Jackson Big Tuna for this reason. Being a Jackson Fishing Team member I hope the Big Tuna works for our veterans.
Anyway hope to see you all there and even meet new people as that always happens. Stop by the RV’s at the Camp Ground. Should be there. If not see you out on the water.
Our last outing of the year went on without a hitch. The weather turned out to be like the last summer day of the year. It definitely reached the 80’s. This outing had the most veteran participation out of all.
The second outing at Picatinny Arsenal was a bit different due to the over all weed growth in the lake. It was a different style of fishing unlike in the spring. Hobies didn’t work well and I learned my new transducer mount really grabbed on the weeds. It was such heavy cover that my depth finder wouldn’t shoot through.
Looking forward to taking the vets kayak fishing here in the spring again!
Thanks again to Civic Duty Partners for providing lunch. The sausage sandwiches really hit the spot!
