Jacksonville's Kayak Classic

May 12, 2006 By: Marshall Cutchin

MidCurrent contributor and casting instructor David Lambert reminded us today that the annual Jacksonville (Florida) Kayak Fishing Classic — which includes a fly fishing division — is coming up on May 19 and 20. “All proceeds go to the St Johns Riverkeeper and Daniel Memorial (for kids and families). The kayak world has rallied behind this. The sponsor list is inspiring — Old Town, Wilderness Systems, Hobie, Perception, Carlisle, TFO, Shimano, Lowrance, Daiwa, and literally hundreds more companies. We’re giving away 16 kayaks to best catches – good ones, too. It’s a CPR event — catch, photo, release.”
