Neuse
River Kayak Fishing Group
Local
kayak fishing clubs are a great way to promote kayak fishing. They provide a
"grass roots" platform to kayak anglers for organized fishing events,
rigging days, workshops and seminars on a variety of topics prioritizing
safety. Clubs also provide a place for
newbies to have their questions answered and to reduce the learning curve, and
of course camaraderie.
Within
the Fairfield Harbor Fishing Club is a group of members that enjoy fishing from
their kayaks, known in the past as the Neuse River Kayak Fishing Group. We began this group in 2021 shortly before
COVID reared its ugly head. Because our
club was banned from meeting for almost two years it really put a damper on our
kayak group as well. At the time we had
over 25 members. Now that we are past
all of that and the club is routinely meeting again, there has been a renewed
interest in our kayak group starting up again. In fact, as of Jan 1st 2023 we
have some kayak fishing events planned for both local and near coastal
waters. As a re-newly formed club, our
initial goal is to promote kayak safety.

We
welcome anyone who loves to fish and has any type of paddle craft - kayak,
canoe, or paddle board. If you are new
to the sport or just want to come and see what we are all about, contact Jim Spatharos (fishoh53@gmail.com)
