CFOA November Social - Nov. 14th – Blair Wiggins
Blair Wiggins Outdoors &
The Indian River Lagoon Clam Restoration Project
CFOA is pleased to announce Captain Blair Wiggins as our guest speaker on Tuesday November 14th at 7:00pm. Captain Blair was born In Florida and raised in Cocoa Beach, Florida. He grew up fishing the Indian River lagoon system which includes Banana River, Indian River and the Mosquito Lagoon. He is the host of the popular TV show Blair Wiggins Outdoors and a founding member of the Indian River Lagoon Clam Restoration Project.
Whether he is on the bow of the boat or the poling platform, Blair is more at home on the water than on dry land. Capt. Blair spent 12 years as a professional fishing guide before becoming a tournament angler and host of his own show for 21 years. His lifetime of fishing experience paid off big in 2006 when he won the FLW Redfish Series Championship. Blair continues to travel on the road promoting not only the addiction and his new show Blair Wiggins Outdoors, but his tireless efforts to initiate clam restoration by repatriating hardy varieties of native clam species and assessing their survivorship under various environmental conditions. In 2018 Blair created the Indian River Lagoon Clam Restoration Project with the help of CCA Florida, FWC and UF Whitney Labs. To date 27 and a half MILLION clams have been planted back into the IRL System. Wait until you see what’s next!! Blair will tell you on November 14!!

CFOA October Social - Oct. 10th – Bill Coppage
Yellowfin Tuna and Other-side Fishing
Bill Coppage was born and raised in Daytona Beach, Florida. Growing up fishing and being on the water is his passion, and he tries to pass it on to his kids and future generations. He started on YouTube so the kids would be involved in something really fun and have the opportunity to meet other cool people who share the same passion for fishing and the outdoors. Of course Bill will talk about fishing all over for all different types of species as well as instructional techniques for tackle and equipment that he uses. However, his discussion will also include boat maintenance and upgrades to help viewers fix normal everyday things that commonly fail due to saltwater use.

2022 - We want a reef 2.5 miles off of Cocoa Beach!
The Central Florida Offshore Anglers (CFOA) and Florida Sport Fishing Association (FSFA) are collecting funds on behalf of the Space Coast Artificial Reef Advisory Board (SCARAB) for the creation of a nearshore artificial reef in the Atlantic Ocean within Florida State waters approximately 2.5 miles off of Cocoa Beach Pier. This Brevard County nearshore reef will be easily accessible by smaller boats, and a place where snapper, grouper, flounder and other reef fish could thrive. This nearshore reef will fall within the State of Florida FWC fishing regulations.
