Central Florida
We are a fishing club in Central Florida. Our goal is to build strong relationships with the people who love fishing. We allow small vessels such as Kayaks, John Boats, Gheenoes, Bass Boats, etc. You are only allowed to use a trolling motor, peddle drive or paddle during competition. We host tournaments monthly and have a family friendly schedule with no tournaments scheduled during the hotter months. Members pay with Cash App at ramp, tournaments payout top three places and BIG BASS. We usually have between 10-20 participants. You will be with a fishing family who are just like you, who are passionate about fishing and friendships. Join our Facebook group to learn more.

Summer Break for AOY Events
To give our anglers a much-needed break and time off during the busiest months, we have completely removed all AOY-counting tournaments from the summer schedule.2. The Open Tournament Structure
We will included two special, Two-Man Open tournaments.* The Opens DO NOT count toward AOY standings. These will be scheduled once at the beginning of summer and once at the end of summer. The open format allows you and a partner to fish a high-stakes, fun event without the pressure of it affecting your season-long points.3. The AOY Drop-Event Rule
To keep the AOY race competitive and forgiving, we are implementing a "Drop Your Worst" finish rule.* How it works: We will subtract your lowest finish from your overall AOY season point total.* The Result: Your best seven AOY tournaments will now be used to determine your final standing.* The Benefit: This means you can have one bad day or miss one AOY event entirely and still remain fully in the hunt for the prestigious AOY Champion title!4. AOY winner will receive a free membership for the following season!I believe this new schedule and scoring system will allow everyone to remain competitive from the first event to the last. The family friendly schedule is going to allow more time with family and allow you to plan around this years tournaments. Most of all, I hope it will increase participation throughout the season. I look forward to seeing all of you on the water for a successful and exciting new season!
