    MSC Kayak fishing events are held monthly at a number of different locations throughout Southwest Florida. Typically, MSC kayak trips will last approximately five to six hours and will cover 5 to 7 miles. We vary the venues monthly to give our kayak anglers exposure to different environments, fishing techniques, and species of fish that can be caught.  
       

    MSC members who participate in the kayak fishing events own their own kayaks and transport them to and from each venue. Members who do not have experience in kayak fishing but are interested in trying out the sport can sometimes borrow a kayak from a MSC member who has an extra one. Kayaks can also be rented at many different locations in the Marco Island area.

    If you are a new member or a current member who is interested in participating in our kayak fishing activities signup to be added to the "Kayak fishing list".  The Event Coordinator, Ken Stockton, will keep you informed about upcoming trips.

    Fishing out of a kayak is a great way to be outdoors, enjoy nature and experience the beauty of the mangroves and backwaters. It’s a great way to catch fish and you get the benefit of exercising at the same time with no need to go to the gas pumps!
