About 35 participants came to the Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium on May 1st and about 20 participants came to the Carolina Kayak Club on May 3rd to learn about kayak fishing from local pro angler Ashley Williams. Those in attendance learned what to look for and consider when purchasing a fishing kayak, how to outfit a fishing kayak to meet their individual needs, and basic tips on landing that first fish from a kayak. In addition to listening and taking notes, participants were able to have their hands on the latest fishing kayaks from Wilderness Systems such as the Tarpon 120 and Commander 120. Kayak fishing gear from Scotty Fishing, Seattle Sports, Werner Paddles, and Stohlquist Waterwear were also available for participants to check out and see the best equipment offered to enhance their kayak fishing experiences.
