"The 2nd Annual No Motor Fishing Tournament, sponsored by The Wilderness Way and Jerry's Bait and Tackle, on June 4, 2005, combines the excitement of saltwater fishing with the accessibility of motor-free, low-impact fishing. Because we live in a fast-paced and sometimes chaotic world, The Wilderness Way No-Motor Tournament highlights the importance of minimizing stressors on our natural resources. As a soft-adventure outfitter, The Wilderness Way in Tallahassee, Florida promotes the sustainability of north Florida’s natural surroundings while offering guests an enriching wilderness experience via kayak or canoe excursions.

Kayak fishing has become a fast growing sport. Factors contributing to kayak fishing popularity include: low start-up costs, minimal maintenance and upkeep, and accessibility to areas that motorboats cannot reach. The sport continues to grow with mullet leaps and tarpon bounds. Kayaks draft 8-12 inches and can reach bays and estuaries that motorboats simply cannot. Additionally, kayak fishing partners the complimentary dynamics of the water’s tranquility with the thrill and satisfaction of stalking fish. Kayak anglers gain the satisfaction of increased knowledge of local species-- a rewarding, individualistic experience. In today’s fast-paced society, sometimes it’s worthwhile to slow down, relax. Get out. Go wild. The Wilderness Way.
