We are the EAST AUCKLAND KAYAK FISHING CLUB (EAKFC)
We meet once a month in Panmure, have members from all over Auckland, and organise regular fishing trips for our members in the Auckland area and further afield.
Next Club Fish - Whatuwhiwhi
Whatuwhiwhi, Karikari Peninsula - see upcoming Fishing Events Page.
Next Club Night - 7 March 2012
We had a big turnout to the February club night where we had Rob Fort talking about targetting Kingfish. Rob is always good value and put on a great show. You show your support for Rob by popping into his shop if you're passing through Coromandel or by shopping online.

We've got Shamus from Kayakpro organised for March. Shamus is the distributor of Stealth Kayaks which puts a different spin on the typical kayak we paddle. This kayak is getting a lot of positive press so get along in March to see one in the flesh.
Shamus won the 2011 Taranaki Kayak Fishing Classic so he knows a thing or two about kayak fishing. He's coming to see us on his way south to defend his title.
Kawakawa Bay Day Trip
We had a good turn out of 7 for the recent day trip to Kawakawa Bay. Everyone had a good day and went home with fish. Check out the full report on the news page.
Featured Sponsor - Calebas
The nice folks at Calebas in the US donated some prizes that were given away at the AGM. They're the biggest online fishing shop on the planet. The exchange rate is great at the moment so you might want to check them out -

Pimp Your Kayak
Reflective names/stripes. If anyone is interested in pimping their kayaks with very bright reflective tape get in touch with club member Ron. There are a few members that have pimped their yaks including The fish Whisperer, Paddling Pop, Fish n Ship and Kayak Chick. This is a good way of standing out in low light and identifying your yak if it gets stolen.
