The Southwest Florida Kayak Angler’s Association had an
informal club tournament and cookout on Saturday and the event was a success.
Several members braved the early morning chill to fish the Estero Bay area
while targeting trout, redfish and snook. The cold weather didn’t stop most of
the anglers from landing fish, and everyone met afterwards at Lover’s key for
great food and fellowship.
Eric Harrison won the big redfish prize
PJ Stevko brought home the biggest trout award, while Brian
Harrison scored both largest redfish and snook. But, the real winner was the recipient
of the 1st ever “Joe Corrigan” award. To qualify for this
prestigious award, one must meet three criteria. First, the recipient has to have
a good sense of humor, able to take a good ribbing as well as dish it out.
Second, he has to be a genuinely nice guy, willing to help his friends and
always there if you need him. Third, and most important, he must be named after
the award itself, Joe Corrigan. Congrats Joe, enjoy the sponge!

After the Club President Jeff Gabrick handed out the
winnings, our very own sous chef, Gary, began grilling. There was plenty of
food and drink as members talked about the days fishing and made plans for the
next event. It was a great day and I hope there are many others like it!
