Dan Carns is a professional kayak fishing guide with years of experience fishing the waters of the Calusa Blueway and participating in paddle fishing tournaments. He will bring his own equipment and discuss preparing for fishing tournaments, planning strategies, rigging your craft, measuring fish and more.
