What a day for some great kayak training at Flint Creek Water Park located in Wiggins, Ms. Hank was our instructor for this event. Several of our members took part in today's instructions. It was a perfect day starting with some open air classes under the large beautiful oaks. Hank gave an excellent block of instructions and some hands on training before entering the water. We laid out our equipment to be inspected. Suggestions were given and corrections were made prior to getting into the water. We eventually entered the water with some awesome enthusiasm for our next block of instructions. Our members took full advantage of tipping over and mounting back up just to do it again again and some did it again. LOL! On a very serious note. Our members completed this class with some very valuable training that could save their life or the life of another. Thank you Hank for a very detailed class! Your awesome!
We encourage anyone that has a kayak or plans on purchasing a kayak to attend this class. Being safe and knowing what to do while on the water can make for an exciting day and minimize the chance for things to go wrong.

Gene & Roger decided to try for some specks this cold morning. We fished the Big Lake area along the West side. For those that have never fished this area before, you should know this area gets pretty shallow. Especially at low tide!

A few members took advantage of a nice morning fishing. Today's outing was at a the Harrison County Farm. We completed the required paperwork earlier this week and got our approval to fish. The weather was a bit chilly and very windy but our die hard members continued to have fun. Plans are in the works for another trip to this location. This was our recon outing and a more decisive plan will be in place for our next group outing. Another beautiful day hanging out with friends!
