Re: South Houston (pearland) kayak fishing club
I'd like to join. I don't have a kayak, I have an Ultraskiff 360. Hope that doesn't kick me out.

Re: South Houston (pearland) kayak fishing club
The SHKFC Constitution and By-Laws look good to me as well.
I'm looking forward to this and hope to meet more folks that love to do what I do every chance I can!! Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Re: South Houston (pearland) kayak fishing club
I'm looking at ways to raise the initial funds for the club right now. I'm thinking about a go fund me as the best way and make some t-shirts, decals, and give away a year membership for the top donation tier. My second idea is to just charge more for the first year membership and then drop the price. If we had 14 people pay $50 it would pay for all of the registration fees and let us have a bit left over in the bank. Any other ideas are welcome. I also need to make two changes to the bylaws to add more specific duties to the officers and add the ACA member requirement.

Re: South Houston (pearland) kayak fishing club
We should try and have a fund raiser where we can get together and meet each other and possible families. A place we could sit and eat or grab a drink and get some of the proceeds back as a donation. I will try and hit up Hooter and others such places off of 288 tomorrow. Will keep you posted
Re: South Houston (pearland) kayak fishing club
I live in Pearland and would definitely be interested! Please count me in!
Re: South Houston (pearland) kayak fishing club
That sounds like a great idea! Thanks for helping out. I'm making some good progress on the website and forum. I've been working late a lot lately so it's slowed me down a bit.bushwing wrote:We should try and have a fund raiser where we can get together and meet each other and possible families.

Once that's up we'll have a good place to inform people about the club and a forum to communicate club business with each other.

Re: South Houston (pearland) kayak fishing club
Hey everyone I made some phone calls yesterday and got some info for fund raising. Chili's on Broadway in Pearland is the one that would be able to help us out. I got some info but waiting to speak to main manager.
1. Days available are Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.
2. They may provide a flier to hand out.
3. It can be an all day event so from lunch until Dinner.
4. They give us 15% of what is collected from customers who order and mention our fund raiser.
Now I will know the full details as soon as I can schedule a time to speak with the main manager, and I will continue to keep everyone posted.
If you want to know any specific info or have a date in mind let me know, and I'll try to get them answered when I speak to the manager.

Re: South Houston (pearland) kayak fishing club
I've also been wanting to do this but haven't acted on it as of yet. I live in Seabrook working towards retirement in the next 5 yrs. and think it's a great idea and way over due.Yak-n TX wrote:Lately I've been looking for a way to give back to the community and I've been doing research on starting a kayak fishing club for the South Houston area. I've decided it's something I would really like to do. To my knowledge there are several clubs in Houston but none located in the southern area. I live in pearland so the meetings would most likely take place close by.
I already have a rough draft of the club constitution and bylaws. It would operate as a non-profit and I'm planning on making the club an ACA club so we can do outings and possibly tournaments down the line.
Meetings would consist of doing reports about our club trips, demos, guest speakers, etc.
I'm trying to gauge interest to see if this something people would like to participate in. Club dues would be very affordable and get you an ACA membership for the year.
I'd just like to get some people together to have fun, promote kayak fishing, and conservation.
Chime in if you could see yourself becoming a member. If I can get 10-15 people interested I'll move forward with raising a bit of money setting it all up.
Thanks!

Re: South Houston (pearland) kayak fishing club
When you guys meet up, why don't y'all talk about having a for fun kayak fishing tournament. Everyone pays to enter but everyone knows it's for raising money. No prizes, just bragging rights. This will help to make all the money to go to the organization to help offset the expenses. IDK.... just throwing it out there to ya. Feel free to run with that if it sounds interesting.
Re: South Houston (pearland) kayak fishing club
Thanks for the idea man! I think this is a great idea. I'll bring it up at the next meeting and we'll see what we can do to organize it.Yakety_Yak wrote:When you guys meet up, why don't y'all talk about having a for fun kayak fishing tournament.

Also I've made an arrangement with the Bass Pro in Pearland to have our meeting in the lounge at the restaurant. This will take place on every 3rd Thursday of the month starting in February!

Awesome! We are working on getting several tournaments set up right now. A few will be online tournaments and we're going to do a fundraiser tournament. I'm finalizing the rules and we just need to lock down a location.
