Paddle or Pedal?

Al Pennino February 2014

“You gotta get a Hobie!” was something I heard constantly once I got involved in the KFA. There’s a reason the Hobie kayaks with Mirage Drive pedal power- propulsion using your legs instead of paddling- is so...

By Rick Flanders I managed a quick getaway to the West Central coast of Florida to team up with my old fishing partner. Day 1 - I flew into Tampa it was a rainy and cool 43 degrees but a welcome change from the 15 degrees I left behind. I had shipped a rod & reel ahead to avoid the TSA rearranging the guides on my rod ( It happened on an earlier trip to the Keys). We grabbed our gear and proceeded to find the bridge over the Anclote River in Tarpon Springs we had seen featured in a vid...

KFA-NY takes Salem by Storm! By James (onelastcast) On August 14, approximately 25 members of KFA-NY headed north to what has become a yearly pilgrimage to the NEKF Striper Shoot out in Salem Massachusetts.

Darren (Dragonfish) and George (GeorgeD) spearheaded a lobster and crab dinner. We gorged on the freshest crustaceans with cold beverages or your f...

The public is welcome.
